Not too long ago, I watched Trouble is my Business [2018].
Loved it.
Can anyone recommend more detective noir films, where the main character/detective narrates what he is thinking ? It would be great if the recommendations stretch from about 1940's-1970's.
Many thanks
IMDb has a good list here:

#12 on that list, Murder, My Sweet (1944) w/ Dick Powell is the film that hews closest to the Hammett/narrating-private-eye model (if memory serves me correctly, it has *no* scenes without Powell's Phillip Marlowe).
TCM Noir Alley just played a good one last week “Blast of Silence” but the narrator isn’t one of the characters:

Blast of Silence is especially unique in that the narration is done in the second person: "You were built with the hate and anger built in." It's the only movie of any kind I can think of that does that.

shareThe MOVIES! channel shows noir movies every Sunday night, and often at other times, night and day. (They need to pick up this channel and MeTV in Canada.)
When TV stations moved from analog to digital, network affiliates had several digital channels created for their use. Most subscribe to one or more retro channels, showing old TV shows or movies: westerns, science fiction, situation comedies, etc. They all have commercial interruptions. Even a PBS station has a channel that only airs old British TV series, that had originally aired on PBS. MOVIES! is one of these channels.
MeTV has edited in cuts of old TV shows, notably their late Saturday airing of Star Trek, to add more commercials. The H&I (Heroes & Icons) channel airs all of the old Star Trek series. They do NOT edit them to add more commercials.
