Classic film noir films include The Maltese Falcon (1941), Double Indemnity
(1944), and Touch of Evil (1958). More recent examples include Blade Runner (1982)
and Sin City (2005). The lighting style employed by film noir is often referred to as
low-key lighting, where there is a strong key light and little, if any, fill.
