Watch Blood Simple

The Coens' Prohibition gangster film, the hat in the woods and Gabriel Byrne's double game.

A hunter takes a case of drug money and a man with a cattle gun follows.

A kidnapping in the snow, a wood chipper and Marge Gunderson; "you betcha".

Alain Delon as a hitman in a trench coat and fedora; Melville's cool influenced every hitman film since.

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.
