I´m currently trying to binge as much Film Noir as I can. Can anyone recommend any of their favourites from the genre?

Thanks have seen a bunch of them. Nightmare Alley is my favourite so far. Don´t care too much for Bogart´s noirs.
sharePushover (1954) features a 21 year old Kim Novak in her first starring role.
shareHighway Dragnet (1954) B Grade but compelling and a little different.
Inferno (1953)
Day of the Outlaw (1959) a Western but has a Film Noir feel to it.
Crossfire (1947)
Criss Cross (1949)
In a Lonely Place (1950)
If you wanted to try something newer The Last Seduction (1994) has all the hallmarks of a Film Noir too.
Some of my favourites that haven't been mentioned yet:
Born to Kill (1947)
Detour (1945)
Each Dawn I Die (1939)
Gilda (1946)
The Killers (1946)
The Killing (1956)
Kiss Me Deadly (1955)
The Lady Vanishes (1938)
Mildred Pierce (1945)
My Name Is Julia Ross (1945)
The Narrow Margin (1952)
The Night of the Hunter (1955)
Suddenly (1954)

I didn´t know The Lady Vanishes was a Noir but agreed. Great movie. I enjoyed Gilda too. I didn´t care much for Detour though. Currently watching The Killers.
shareJust thinking about Night of the Hunter still gives me the shivers!🥶 I can’t listen to the hymn “Leaning on the Everlasting Arms” without images of this movie popping into my head! Brrr! The following is a rather lengthy article about the film with *spoilers*, but it explains how I felt when first viewing the film. Excuse me while I crawl under the bed! First a scene:
