It’s fitting that Uncle Boonmee was also one of the year’s best films. Read all about it here.

Not the official poster for Michael Winterbottom’s foodie road trip, nor even the wonderful teaser poster which channelled Vik Muniz in a couple of dirty plates, but one of eight strikingly varied and witty alternative posters designed by Mojo, for what purpose I’m not entirely sure. All of them were terrific—you can see them here—and I’m ranking them second for the collective effort, but my favorite was this take on the great 1932 Dubonnet posters of A.M. Cassandre (whose Triplex poster also featured prominently on the wall of Gare Montparnasse in Scorsese’s Hugo). Somehow I missed this when Cam Archer’s film opened in New York in September and only came across it the other day.

Free Film Noir Movies. During the 1940s and 50s, Hollywood entered a “noir” period, producing riveting films based on hard-boiled fiction.

All of these elements figured into what Roger Ebert calls “the most American film genre” in his short Guide to Film Noir. In this growing list, we gather together the noir films available online. They all appear in our big collection 1,150 Free Movies Online: Great Classics, Indies, Noir, Westerns, etc..
