The Killers:
Taken from Ernest Hemingway's tale The Killers features Ava Gardner and Burt Lancaster, in his screen debut.

Double Indemnity:
One of the finest films the noir genre has to offer. Double Indemnity has a bona fide Hollywood cast: Fred MacMurray is the insurance salesman led astray by Barbara Stanwyck's definitive femme fatale, Edward G Robinson investigates them.

The Big Steal:
Robert Mitchum is reunited with Jane Greer After Out Of The Past, alongside noir stalwart William Bendix. Noir elements are blended with caper and heist, on the trail of a $300, 000 booty.

Crossfire:
The movie that supposedly set in Washington on to liberal Hollywood, ending with the anti-communist McCarthy witchunt, Noir stalwarts Gloria Graheme and Robert Mitchum star.

Out Of The Past:
Made a star of Robert Mitchum, playing a private eye mixed up with a dangerous woman and some even more dangerous gangsters.

The Blue Dahlia:
Raymond Chandler's one and only screenplay (nominated for an Oscar). Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake are the leads: He is the returning GI who may or may not have been framed for a murder, she is the femme fatale aiding him.

The Glass Key:
The masterful adaptation of Dasheil Hammett's tale of intrigue see Alan Ladd and Veronica Lake positively smouldering as a henchman and politician's daughter drawn to each other.

This Gun For Hire:
An early example of the noir genre and the first time pairing of Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd, here making his screen debut. Based on a Graham Green novel.

Murder, My Sweet:
This Raymond Chandler adaptation positively crackles. Dick Powell's turn as Chandler's definitive noir private eye, Philip Marlowe, is rated as being as good as Bogart's take on the detective. Directed by Edward Dmytrck (Crossfire).

    * In 1944, Dick Powell played the part of the hard-boiled detective in a classic film noir which was alternatively entitled Murder, My Sweet and Farewell, My Lovely

    Farewell My Lovely was Chandler's second (and best IMO) novel. Not sure why they changed the name for the film, but it is pretty faithful to the book. They previewed it under its original title too. Also worth checking out Robert Mitchum's 1975 version which is also a bit fab.

    Great deal, thanks, been wanting to pick this up for ages.

    Watch out with Amazon now, though, they just stung me with £2 on the postage there.
    Recently they've changed it so that the 'First Class' option is the default selected, not the 'Free Super Saver'.
    Noticed it just yesterday when ordering Enter the Dragon on BluRay, (only a fiver on Amazon, good price), and completely forgot today.

    EDIT: Mine just arrived and it isn't the nice box that I've seen before, it's just a paper slipcase with the DVDs inside. That really does suck, tbh.
