DOUBLE INDEMNITY (1944)
"No, I never loved you Walter - not you or anybody else." The plotting femme fatale in this film is such a bad girl - she ranked as the #8 film villain of the first 100 years of American cinema by AFI in 2003 - just ahead of the demon in The Exorcist.

GILDA (1946)
"I hate you so much that I would destroy myself to take you down with me." Rita made being a femme fatale look easy. As Gilda, her dancing became problematic when censors called it a striptease - all she did was take off one glove.
