This August’s anniversary showcase includes film noir classics such as Nightmare Alley, Thieves’ Highway, Sunset Boulevard, Force of Evil, The Flame, I Wake Up Screaming, Touch of Evil and The Big Sleep.

Below, readers can enter to win two pairs of tickets to a set of film noir screenings of their choice, plus two tickets to our 50th Anniversary Film Noir Party on Aug. 19.
