Watch Le Samouraï

Melville's French Resistance as a grey, unglamorous business of betrayals.

A hitman's routine, his mistakes and his internal monologue, to the Smiths.

Bresson's thief in Paris, filmed as hands and gestures, and the ending in the prison.

Belmondo, Seberg and the jump cut; the New Wave arrives in one film.

Five criminals in a line-up and Keyser Soze; the ending everybody replayed.

Three cops, a diner massacre and Kim Basinger as a Veronica Lake lookalike; 1950s noir done right.

Robert Pattinson's detective Batman in a rain-soaked Gotham hunting the Riddler.

A cop in the triads and a triad in the police; the film The Departed remade.
