From Fatal Attraction (Adrian Lyne, 1987), Dressed to Kill (Brian De Palma, 1980) Body Double (Brian De Palma, 1984) and The Bedroom Window (Curtis Hansen, 1987) to the New Orleans movies The Big Easy (Jim McBride, 1986) and Angel Heart (Alan Parker, 1987), and onto the remakes of Breathless (Jim McBride, 1983), Cat People (Paul Schrader, 1982) and The Postman Always Rings Twice (Bob Rafelson, 1981) – the 80s gave us noir fans endless treats.
