Just a quick post of current stats for FilmsNoir.Net and an overview of how you can use the FilmsNoir.Net Film Noir Catalog:

Fully cataloged movies in the Film Noir Catalog - 599

There are as many lists of films noir as there are web sites on the topic, so in the Catalog I have not listed my personal choices or tried to be definitive, but cataloged all movies that have been nominated as noir by another blog or site. The catalog is fully search-able and supports data-mining.

Let’s look at one of my favorite film noirs, Out Of The Past.

On the Catalog’s home page, I enter “Out Of The Past” into the Find box and hit <Enter>:

This search not only returns the film, Out of the Past, but also 6 other movies related on a parameter such as actor, director, producer etc. Clicking on a blue text link will search all of the catalog for that term. For instance, clicking on Robert Mitchum, will list all films in the Catalog which star Robert Mitchum. Clicking on the film’s title or the Poster thumbnail, takes you to a more detailed entry for the current movie:

Again, you can dig down into the catalog to locate related movies.

Clicking on the IMDB rating will take you to that film’s entry at the IMDB web site.
