Blood Simple is pre-1990.

If we dip back into the 80s, I'd also mention Angel Heart.

Dead Again should be on this list.

Perhaps also the remake of Diabolique?

Cape Fear?

I voted for Brick.

Glengarry Glenn Ross is dark, but I've never really thought of it as film-noir. I guess I'm kind of a traditionalist when it comes to defining film-noir.

Yeah, I definitely wasn't able to get everything in. Again; apologies if I snubbed your favorite.
Next time I make a poll I'll try to do a better job at limiting the scope.
Oh, and I did try to pick the ones I thought it most likely people would vote for... Some were right, some obviously weren't...
Ah well. First try.
Thanks for voting all, and for several 'recommendations' I now need to go watch. Cool

What about "Romeo Is Bleeding"?
