Recommended Film Noir Websites

Picture
_Turner Classic Movies is at the top of the list.  Most Film Noir movies shown on television will be found on TCM at some point in time.  This website provides the tools to research movies, watch original trailers, and purchase sometimes hard to find items.  My only suggestion to TCM to improve navigation on the site is the addition of a Film Noir category.  Typically these movies are either listed as DRAMA, CRIME, or even ROMANCE.  It would be nice to have a category that also identifies the movie as Film Noir.

Picture
_Internet Archive is an exciting site once you learn what it available.  This website is a Non-Profit database that was founded in 1996 to build an Internet library. Its purposes include offering permanent access for researchers, historians, scholars, people with disabilities, and the general public to historical collections that exist in digital format.  There are many Film Noir movies that are now in the Public Domain.  Movies can be downloaded (legally) or streamed and watched directly from the website.

Picture
_Film Noir Foundation is a website that is "Dedicated To Rescuing And Restoring America's Noir Heritage".  Here you can find what movies are airing on television either on Turn Classic Movies or Fox Movie Channel.  There is also an expansive collection of video archives of noir-related videos including interviews, short films, and Noir City guest appearances.  Noir City, The Annual San Francisco Noir Festival, that began in January, 2003.

Picture
_Wikipedia has a good reference page that attempts to explain exactly what is Film Noir.  This includes the "Classic Period" of the 1940's and 1950's, Foreign Noir, and Neo-Noir.  Although Film Noir may vary in definition, and any list could be disputed, Wikipedia has a good comprehensive List of Film Noir Tiltles.
