Question

but with women doing bad

Answer 1

Favorite Answer

My favorite kind of movie!

The standard-bearer of bad women in noir: Barbara Stanwyck -- Double Indemnity

Tough to match her exceptional cleverness, controlled seduction and sharp wits.

Gloria Grahame -- Human Desire

Ultimate sex kitten/sex bomb

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047101/

Ann Savage as Vera -- Detour

She's a mess. One of film's all-time great movie appearances from someone who is in practically no other movies.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037638/

Peggy Cummins -- Gun Crazy

an alternate title of this movie was "Deadly is the female" need i say more?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042530/

Gene Tierney -- Leave Her to Heaven

noir in color, but the pretty colors don't mean she isn't a cold-hearted b.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0037865/

Jean Simmons -- Angel Face

I almost forgot this one. She's right up there with Stanwyck as the ultimate film noir femme fatale.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0044357/

Mary Astor -- Maltese Falcon

I want to say she started it all. What a champ.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0033870/

Rita Hayworth -- Gilda

She's super hot and drives a couple guys into a murderous rage while hardly even trying.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038559/

Ava Gardner -- The Killers

Ava's very best movie in my opinion. Reminds me of Rita Hayworth in Gilda, except no silly music.

Yvonne DeCarlo -- Criss Cross

classic but under-rated film noir. Yvonne is best known as the mom in the munsters, but she's much better here. Her first scene is dancing with an un-credited Tony curtis in his first screen role

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041268/

Answer 2

For a modern one check out L.A. Confidential or even Sin City. For a classic check out The Maltese Falcon or The Big Sleep.

Answer 3

My favorites:

The Maltese Falcon (Bogart)

Rear Window (Hitchcock)

The Third Man (orson welles)

Notorious (Hitchcock)

Dark Passage (Bogart and Bacall)

Out of the Past

They Drive by Night
