1. The Third Man (1949)
Written by Graham Greene and directed by Carol Reed, this British beauty tops the entire American film noir canon. In the back streets of post-war Vienna, Joseph Cotton goes looking for an old friend (Orson Welles), soon to be mixed up in a sticky black market plot. He's accompanied by some of the best music and cinematography work ever done in film.
