Here are the titles up for grabs:

A Bullet for Joey: Blu-Ray or DVD available. Edward G. Robinson (Scarlet Street) and George Raft (They Drive by Night) star in this espionage thriller that pulls out all the stops for excitement and edge-of-your-seat suspense.

No Orchids for Miss Blandish:  Blu-Ray or DVD available. Based on a shocking novel by James Hadley Chase (The Night of the Generals) – the film’s mixture of sex, violence and low morals made it one of the most controversial films of the late 1940s. The story tells of a pampered heiress (Linden Travers, The Lady Vanishes) who is abducted on her wedding night by a gang of small time hoods, in what starts out as a jewel robbery and turns into a kidnapping/murder when one of them kills the groom.

Daisy Kenyon:  Blu-Ray ONLY available. Joan Crawford (Mildred Pierce), Dana Andrews (Boomerang) and Henry Fonda (The Ox-Bow Incident) deliver dazzling performances in this highly polished and slick love triangle directed by the great Otto Preminger (Laura). Daisy Kenyon (Crawford) is a lovelorn commercial artist caught in a romantic triangle with two men – one she loves but cannot have and one whose love she cannot return.

A Kiss Before Dying:  Blu-Ray ONLY available. He had looks, charm, and killer instinct! Beneath his clean-cut looks… was a cold-blooded killer. Robert Wagner (Hart to Hart, The Pink Panther) gambled with his clean-cut image to play the ruthless, conniving killer in this unrelenting thriller co-starring Jeffrey Hunter (The Searchers), Virginia Leith (Fear and Desire), Joanne Woodward (Three Faces of Eve), Robert Quarry (Madhouse), George Macready (Gilda) and Mary Astor (The Hurricane). Based on the novel by suspense master Ira Levin (Rosemary’s Baby, The Stepford Wives).

    My favorite film noir is “Double Indemnity.” Barbara Stanwyck, Fred Macmurray, and Edward G. Robinson are amazing! And Barbara is so glamorous! Wow!

  2. Vickie Gleason says:

    I would say Double Indemnity is one of my favorites. The first time I saw it I was shocked to see Fred MacMurray in that role and it was my introduction to Barbara Stanwyck.

  3. Amy Condit says:

    One of my favorite film noirs is “Gun Crazy”. The pacing is incredible, and the shot where the camera is continuously filming in the back seat while John Dall andPeggy Cummins drive to rob the bank and then get away is clever cinematography.

  4. Nancy says:

    One of my favorite film noirs is Gilda because I love watching Rita Hayworth. She is the ultimate femme fatale!

  5. Chris Teel says:

    My favorite Noir is Double Indemnity. It’s a close runner up to The Maltese Falcon, but the tension between McMurray and Stanwyck tips the scales to Indemnity. I’ve been lucky to see them both on the big screen thanks to Classic Movie Hub and they were both AMAZING! Thanks for this chance.

  6. Dillon Gonzales says:

    One of my favorites is Sunset Boulevard because it was one of the first movies that opened the door for me to film noir. Gloria Swanson is tragic in this movie and the interplay between her and William Holden makes the movie truly special.
