Three movies that define the neon noir aesthetic: Thief, To Live and Die in L.A., and Light Sleeper. Someone has grouped them into an unofficial trilogy called The Neon Noir Trilogy.



Paul Schrader's 1992 drama Light Sleeper plunges into the nocturnal world of John LeTour, a man grappling with addiction and a career in New York City's high-end drug trade.
