  As for modern, color films in the film noir style, how about the
Clint Eastwood movie "Tightrope?"  As I recall, it came out last
summer.  In this one, Clint plays a cop who is trying to find a
murderer of prostitutes and pretty young ladies.  All during the
film, the director suggests to the audience that Clint's character
is the murderer.  I won't tell you the end, in case you haven't
seen it.
  What made this film interesting to watch (although at times difficult)
was that almost every scene was shot in very low light.  It was
tough to see what was going on all the time, but the constant
claustriphobic mood was fascinating.

                                Enough pedantry (8-),
