There are lots of full length film noir on YouTube. I mean seemingly endless. I try checking them out on rotten tomatoes first.

Any recomendations on the better ones?
I watch them on my android phone for now until I can figure out how to cast them to my tv.

Also, simply type in something like Best Film Noir into Google - there are many good lists there.

Or go by your favorite actors - for instance, Sterling Hayden, Robert Mitchum, Kirk Douglas, etc, etc, etc.

One of my favorite genres...

40s and early fifties were the golden age for F.N.I think. Color film seemed to kill the ability to draw,you in to the darkness of the story. B/W has better dynamic range for night photography and appears to have more definition.
Thanks Victor for the tips.

It's on pause. I'm about halfway through and it's very good so far. Well paced.

Problem with those old films - you can keep returning to them, and enjoying them every time. :)
