A Night of watching rarely shown Noir...

I just watched Detective Story - loved it! I'm having a night of finally getting around to watching some films that I've purchased, because of the fact that they're rarely, if ever, shown on TCM.

NEXT UP: Somewhere In the night, followed by (if I can stay awake) Raw deal, T-Men, Phantom Lady. I have a bunch of others but don't want to bore with a exhaustive list.

Any suggestions for similar rarely shown Films-Noir? Would love some

"So Dark the Night" by director Joseph H. Lewis who also directed the superlative B-Noir "Gun Crazy"

Try and Get Me! Directed by Cy Enfield is an excellent B noir with outstanding performances throughout
Also check out Cry Danger, The Lineup, The Window, Docoy, He Ran All the Way, Odds Against Tomorrow. All of which are seldom shown but well worth tracking down. IMO. All but 2 of the titles are available here in the states on studio released DVDs.
