Double Indemnity, Any Others Like it?

Hello everyone!

The other day in my film studies class we watched the film Double Indemnity. I've never really watched any classic films that I have really enjoyed from before the 1950s, but this movie really did it for me!

The movie's plot goes something like this (From Netflix):

"Smitten insurance man Walter Neff (Fred MacMurray) plots the perfect murder with femme fatale client Phyllis Dietrichson (Barbara Stanwyck): staging her husband's "accidental" death to collect double indemnity on his life insurance and absconding with the loot. But before their scheme can pay off, the lethal duo must first get past a crafty claims investigator (Edward G. Robinson) who senses something isn't kosher."

 At first I thought it was going to be kind of boring, but as soon as the movie started, I was hooked. Walter Neff tells his story from the top down. It starts at the ending, and he retraces his steps. I thought that was a really interesting way to do the film, and despite the fact that you seem to think you know the ending, it really added a lot of mystery to the film!

My friend James and I also quickly discussed while we were watching the movie that we both believed it would be a good film to show in a philosophy class, because of Edward G. Robinson's character. He plays a detective style character (even though he is an insurance agent), and he deduces the crimes that happened, it's really funny how he does it, and speaking of things I loved about this movie, Edward G. Robinson was one of them!

I really loved this movie, and I was just wondering if any of my readers have seen any other Noir style movies, or if they've seen any other movies with Billy Wilder as the director, that they've really enjoyed. I've also seen Some Like It Hot, which is another Billy Wilder film, and I loved that one as well. If you could suggest movies for me, I'd love it! Just leave a comment. Neo-Noir films can also be thrown in any lists of movies anyone gives me! Feel free to recommend movies that starred Edward G. Robinson as well. He really made that movie great!

Thanks for reading!

I realize I can check Netflix/IMDB if I want more information on these people, and just watch their movies, or look up Noir films on either one, but I want to find out YOUR opinions! I'll also make more blog posts about these films if I find anymore I love!
