I’ve always liked Film Noir:
Film noir - Wikipedia
I especially like Film Noir titles. Some films are better than others. Some are classics. Some aren’t. But a great title is always evocative, even if you’ve never seen the film. I decided to make a Top 25 of my favorites, in alphabetical order.

The Big Sleep
Brute Force
Cape Fear
City that Never Sleeps
The Damned Don’t Cry
Drive a Crooked Road
Experiment in Terror
Farewell My Lovely
The Friends of Eddie Coyle
The Harder They Fall
He Walked by Night
The House on Telegraph Hill
I Died a Thousand Times
I, the Jury
I Wake Up Screaming
Kiss the Blood off My Hands
Kiss of Death
Lady in the Lake
The Long Goodbye
The Naked City
Night and the City
