Over the last few years, I have become a big fan of this era of films.
Warner Bros and 20th Century Fox were the leaders of what would become
known as the Film Noir style back in the '40s and '50s. Both
studios have shown great dedication in getting these films out on
DVD. Fox has so far released 24 titles in their
FOX FILM NOIR series
and Warners has released 4 boxsets called the
Film Noir Classic Collection totalling
another 25 films. Needless to say, these flicks have been taking
up a large amount of shelf space. This set was made to get a lot of
that valuable space back! The movies have been collected in
groups and are now meant to fit in 6 disc cases. After the runs
of officially packaged Noir films from Fox and WB, I have extended
the sets to include more Warner Bros noir type films from Humphrey
Bogart. After that, I have moved on to films from MGM,
Universal and other studios and distributers, including two sets
comprising a Criterion Collection. I realize that not every
noir fan will have all of these movies, but I would bet most have
the official Fox and Warners releases, so that's why the sets start
with them. There are two variations for each cover. The
first are meant to fit
super slim six disc cases that are no wider
than a standard DVD case. The second choice will fit in the
more familiar
one inch wide cases. Both styles of case
are available at
Genesysdtp.com. You'll notice that some of
the Warners sets have a total of 7 movies listed, this is because
some of the discs have two movies on one disc. Click on the images
below for a bigger view (along with notes on that particular volume),
or click on the appropriate download links to get the covers.
