I think the novels of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett are fun reads. The Maltese Falcon, The Thin Man series and The Big Sleep to name a few.

The Thin Man is one of my favorites. Nick and Nora are hilarious.

I agree, he wrote those characters really well.

The Maltese Falcon was a really really bad movie. But the long goodbye is probably the best noir detective movie ever made. I have really wanted to read it ever since I saw the film but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Now you're just taking crazy. Maltese falcon is an incredible movie. One of the best noir films ever

It's redeeming feature is that it is only an hour and 45 minutes. Couldn't stand it. TBF I am not a big fan of those noir films anyway. I much prefer movies like the long goodbye that almost parody the genre and end up being great. I haven't watched murder my dear but I hate that they changed the name from farewell my lovely which is clearly the superior name.
