Double Indemnity (1944)
The ultimate film-noir thriller.
Not only does it feature some of the best written dialogue I've ever heard (delivered by an astounding cast), it tells a twisted story of love and murder and keeps the viewer guessing right to the bitter end.
The beauty of the story isn't so much in the plot itself - though there are certainly a few shockers, most events aren't really that surprising. But being told from the eyes of Walter Neff added an extra dimension to things, and made the entire proceedings that much more powerful.
An all-time classic with one of the best scripts ever written...and a new found favourite of mine.
