  1. The Big Lebowski (1998)
    "Directed by Howard Hawks, this film adapts Raymond Chandler's novel, featuring detective Philip Marlowe. The Coens emulated its convoluted plot and Los Angeles setting, with "The Big Lebowski" serving as a modern, comedic take on the noir genre." Bfi source
  2. Burn After Reading (2008)
    "The Coens' own "The Big Lebowski" was loosely inspired by this classic noir, and elements of convoluted blackmail schemes from both films can be seen influencing "Burn After Reading.""

  3. Chinatown (1974)
    "Based on Raymond Chandler's novel, this film exemplifies the hard-boiled detective narrative that "Chinatown" emulates. Both Polanski and screenwriter Robert Towne were influenced by Chandler's portrayal of Los Angeles and its complex characters." Sparknotes source
