Can anyone recommend any others? I understand the French were masterful with this genre but I am not really sure where to start.

I'm not going to recommend for foreign films in light of the fact American cinema has such rich history. In fact, maybe there should be a different thread for foreign films. here are some films:

Laura
Double Indemnity
To Have and to Have Not
Martha Ivers
The File on Thelma Jorden
The Two Mrs. Carrolls

Classics to start with:
Letter to Three Wives
The Letter
Gentleman's Agreement
Witness for the Prosecution
Anatomy of a Murder
12 Angry Men
The Desperate Hours
The Paradine Case
The Spiral Staircase
Rebecca
Suspicion
Saboteur
Notorious
The Uninvited

I'm sure someone will come along and add more.
