Free Film Noir

The Internet Archive houses a film noir collection. The titles have fallen into the public domain so they’re free and legal to download—and they’re available in crisp mp4 format, among others. A glance reveals some classics of the genre, including Elia Kazan’s Panic in the Streets (which I’ve mentioned here before) and Orson Welles’ The Stranger (that’s Welles and Loretta Young shown above, in a still from the film).
