Let's add "The Man Who Wasn't There" to the neo's.
Follow Ups:
Albee,Okay, it's added...the Coens are very noir-oriented directors...you can ALMOST say that Miller's Crossing is neo-noir, and in fact, it is included as such in a few of the books I have on film noir.
The neo-noir list can be quite extensive...one book I have cites no less than 65 films (1965-to date) that are considered noir influenced.
A big one I left out-The Last Seduction-outstanding femme fatale performance by Linda Fiorentino.
Thanks,

...we got no stinkin' links! (Sorry...always wanted to use that line).I actually don't have a link, but I can give you some reference books: Film Noir; an Encyclopedic Reference to the American Style, by Silver and Ward. Considered the "bible of noir," and contains many neo-noirs.
Film Noir Guide, by Michael Keaney...the newest book I kow of on the subject...includes some neo-noirs, and is a great read.
Everything about noir-both the classics and neo, is subjective...perhaps one of the most hotly debated subjects in all of film. Is it film noir, or just a dark film. Ultimately, I've found that you have to decide for yourself.
Some others listed: Genuine Risk, At Close Range, After Dark, My Sweet, The hit, Basic Instinct, Betrayed, Body heat, Dead Again, The Driver, Cop, and.....so on.
All the best,
Gary
