I've wanted to make a tribute to film noir for a while, so here it is. Note that all of these films are from my DVD collection, so there are some famous examples of the genre as well as lesser-known and underappreciated gems. As I'm sure you can all guess I have quite an extensive DVD collection, and I'm still working on building on the film noirs. There are many others that I would like to have someday, but this is a good start. So here's my hommage to the dark side of crime, and to some of the actors and actresses who made their mark in the genre. I hope you like it!
