"Film noir was a staple of cinema from the 1940s to the late 50’s. Many of these films were cheesy or overly melodramatic, but also many gems were made that are considered some of the best films ever made.

Recently, the neo-noir genre has seen its share of some of the most interesting and captivating films to grace the silver screen. Here are the 20 best neo-noir movies released in the past five years."
