L.A. confidential is one of my faves. I guess broken city and dead man down would qualify for more recent films.

great choices anons

some of my favourites:
Night Moves
Body Heat (it's not exactly about a private detective but it's still very noir-ish and a great watch)
The Long Goodbye
Klute
Hardcore
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
The Conversation (main guy is a surveillance expert, so basically like a PI)
Cutter's Way

Klute is great, but Fonda outshines Sutherland by miles.

>>83950727
The Robert Altman "The Long Goodbye" from 1973 is fantastic.

>>83950990
Not OP, but wrong Night Moves you fucking imbecile

>>83951116
>Klute
>Hardcore
>Cutter's Way

I haven't seen any of these. Good recs.

8MM, the snuff-movie-thriller with nicholas cage, was basically a remake of "Hardcore".

Zodiac
LA Confidential
Prisoners
Gone Girl
The Girl with the dragon tattoo (sort of pseudo-detective work anyway)
Se7en
Mystic River
Fargo
The Usual suspects
The Departed
Primal Fear (more on the legal side but still)
Silence of the Lambs
Training Day

Basic bitch.

I just watched that a few weeks ago.It was a little more "popcorny" than I expected but I still really liked it.

>Mystic River
Oooh this is on HBO right now. Might watch it tonight.

>>83951490
Fuck. Okay, what's the one they make everyone watch in film 101- it's like babby's first noir- where the first 2/3's are done entirely in flashback? Like the protag is some detective or something and falls in love with the girl he's investigating and then goes into hiding and opens up a gas station in a small town?

I'm really blanking here.

Glad you sound interested, but as a precaution I wouldn't go around bragging about it if you have strong opinions one way or the other because it's really some entry level shit.

And hey! Just for being a sport, here's the iconic opening shot to Touch of Evil by Orsen Welles in case you haven't seen that one either.

The Maltese Falcon if you want a noir detective film. Most of Hitchcock's great films aren't necessarily focused on detectives, but do focus on uncovering mysteries if that's what you're looking for.
