* ''Film/ThePublicEnemy1931'': Following the exploits of a hoodlum from entry-level crimes, to his rise in the crime ranks, and to his eventual demise. A Depression Gangster film where the tensions are related to the hoodlum and his "good family" who complain about his lifestyle.

A Depression Gangster film where the tensions are related to the hoodlum and his "good family" who complain about his lifestyle. The infamous "grapefruit scene" foreshadows the misogyny of much later noir.
* ''Film/{{Scarface|1932}}'': Completing the trifecta of early gangster classics with the Creator/JamesCagney and Creator/EdwardGRobinson pictures above, Creator/HowardHawks treatment of the relationship between head hood Tony, his sister Cesca, and his sidekick Rinaldo pushes the envelope of, shall we say, unusual romance as far as it could be in the period; a theme which would get more and more prevalent in later noir.

* ''Film/TheWomanInTheWindow'' (1944). A married, middle-aged man falls for a FemmeFatale, and is involved in a fight with her current boyfriend. He kills the man in self-defense and soon discovers that he can not get away with it. On the surface a conservative parable on acting on repressed desires and paying a price for it. It has been argued however that director Creator/FritzLang aimed to depict the thin line between respectability and immorality, and how an ordinary person can be caught in a web of murder and intrigue. Another key theme to the film noir genre.
