It's my favorite genre as a whole - mystery and this sub-genre in particular. I'm cheating a little because some of the ones below aren't detectives exactly but the lead character becomes a defacto detective......although I'm leaving out The Vanishing (Spoorloos) which I think is stretching it to call that a detective movie - it works differently.
Chinatown
The Conversation
Blow Out
Homicide (1991)
Night Moves
Vertigo
Memento
Mulholland Drive
Memories of Murder
Monsieur Hire

Ten I really like, not necessarily my 10 favorite. Also, not all feature a proper detective, but all with detective-ish figures trying to solve a mystery.
1. Mulholland Drive (David Lynch)
2. Blade Runner (Ridley Scott)
3. The Silence of The Lambs (Jonathan Demme)
4. Zodiac (David Fincher)
5. Vertigo (Alfred Hitchcock)
6. Chinatown (Roman Polanski)
7. Manhattan Murder Mystery (Woody Allen)
8. The Conversation (Francis Ford Coppola)
9. Winter’s Bone (Debra Granik)
10. The Nice Guys (Shane Black)

One of my favorite genres. I'm sure I'm forgetting some movies, but something like:
Heat
L.A. Confidential
The Big Sleep
Dirty Harry
The Maltese Falcon
Chinatown
Murder on the Orient Express
Blade Runner 2049
Un Flic
Stray Dog
But I could easily list ten more that I love.

Since we're talking "detective films" and not "noir films" I won't include Mulholland Drive, since Robert Forster's detective only has one (great) scene.
The Big Sleep
Blade Runner
Blade Runner: 2049
Blood Simple
Double Indemnity
L.A. Confidential
Laura
M
The Silence of the Lambs
Vertigo
