Femme Fatale is a 2002 erotic thriller film written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film stars Antonio Banderas and Rebecca Romijn-Stamos. It was screened out of competition at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. Upon its release, Femme Fatale received mixed reviews from film critics and became a box office flop.
- Phyllis Dietrichson - Double Indemnity. Femme fatales generally fall into two categories as far as looks go. You'll see those with black hair and black outfits (what you would typically expect from the black widow type), or the icy blond who wears white (see: "Body Heat" and "Basic Instinct").
- Ellen Berent Harland - Leave Her to Heaven. In terms of the brunette leading ladies of the '40s, the two most beautiful were probably Ava Gardner and Gene Tierney, and both effectively weaponized their beauty as femme fatales.
- Veda Pierce - Mildred Pierce. The two youngest femme fatales on this list — the teenage Veda and Kathryn in "Cruel Intentions" — are arguably the evilest.
- Kitty Collins - The Killers. Many of the best noirs are adaptations of equally brilliant books, and 1946's "The Killers" is no exception. The movie is based on a story by Ernest Hemingway, and was one of the few adaptations that he didn't despise.

- Dream Lover (1993) - Lena Mathers. Dream Lover's Lena Mathers, portrayed so incredibly artfully by Mädchen Amick, may be the biggest surprise on the list.
- Chloe (2009) - Chloe Sweeney. Based on the 2003 French film Nathalie... , Amanda Seyfried as Chloe delivers a tender, more vulnerable version of this brand of screen siren than what is listed herein.
- Wild Things (1998) - Suzie Toller. If for nothing else than the satisfying twist this gratuitous titillation of a film has to offer, Wild Things is a must-see for those who enjoy an artfully done double-cross with a surprise you may not see coming.
- Batman Returns (1992) - Selina Kyle. Tim Burton’s 1992 Batman Returns was not intended to be specifically a femme fatale film. It is, naturally, centered on the dark hero and his efforts to save Gotham from imploding on itself.
