Movies (and U.S. TV series) often described as film noir are listed below. No claim is made that any listed movie "is," in some objectively testable way, a film noir. Especially outside of the 1940s and 1950s, inclusion on the list does not necessarily mean there is even a critical consensus on a given film's noir status. Important movies from the classic era on which there is a substantial difference of opinion include Casablanca and the Alfred Hitchcock films Rebecca, Suspicion, and Spellbound. The term psycho-noir, though in increasingy wide use, is still relatively new and the designation of films to that category in particular is nondefinitive.

All movies listed are U.S. productions, except as noted in exceptional cases and in the foreign categories. Multinational productions are identified only by the lead country, determined first by the primary language of the film, next by the nationality of the director. The original titles are given for French-, German-, Spanish-, and Italian-language films; for such films that are well known in the United States under a translated or alternative title, that is given as well. Films in other languages are listed under their English titles exclusively.
