7º – Dead Reckoning (John Cromwell, 1947)
An army captain begins a personal investigation to find out why a fellow escaped shortly before receiving a medal of honor. In the investigation, little by little, the man will realize that the life of this companion was much more obscure than it seemed, entering to a not very pleasant routine and, still, falling in love with the strange figure of his ex-girlfriend: ‘Dead Reckoning’, another noir in this list, has an irresistible model of fragmenting his concise history, bringing the figure of one of the most distinct “femme fatales” of the seventh art, interpreted by actress Lizabeth Scott.
6º – Wild Things (John McNaughton, 1998)
In the plot, an irascible policeman tries to unravel the motivations of two students who had drawn up a plan against him. Raising an aura of suspense quite assertive, ‘Wild Things’ even has some negative moments and a script that forces the bar, but, it must be said, his dynamic rhythm and the surrounding theme completely capture the viewer’s attention. Good option of the final straight of the 1990s, getting even better with his good cast, counting with names like Matt Dillon, Kevin Bacon, Theresa Russell and Neve Campbell (actress who was in evidence at the time for her participation in the great franchise “Scream”).
