Searchable by title, year and a few major genres (including Film Noir, Westerns, Italian neorealism and ‘giallo’ thrillers), this resource is not as extensive as Steve Hills’ Movie Title Screen Page though its general layout is a good deal more polished. There is also a welcome section devoted to graphic artist and filmmaker Saul Bass as well as samples devoted to the specific Hollywood studios.They both provide access to the opening titles page from movie credits

Resources include lectures, worksheets, revision tools and even a selection of the sound effects (thunder claps, spooky musical stings etc) associated with the genre, as well as a section dedicated to the Hammer production company which specialised in gothic thrillers from the 50s until the mid 1970s. Audio can be streamed or downloaded.

This is a degree project developed by Frederic Brodbeck at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Netherlands. It aims to create a visual ‘finger print’ of a movie by representing through an animation such information as the editing structure, colour, speech or motion which are extracted, analysed and then re-presented. The brief sampler available online compares such diverse movie experiences as Kubrick’s version of The Shining and some unspecified porn films. The code used is available through the site.

This self-styled ‘Robin Hood of the avant-garde’ was established 15 years ago as an archive and distributor of art films and is now partially based in Mexico. The disclaimer tells us: ‘All materials are for non-commercial and / or educational use only.' There is some fascinating and rare work here as well as some genuine obscurities. Along with Tweets and podcasts, the site hosts dozens of films, shorts and features, ranging from early works by the likes of Brian de Palma and Joseph Cornell to more widely-known experimental filmmakers such as Andy Warhol, Jean Cocteau and Steve McQueen. Part of the site is now devoted to electronic music and sound. The website is large and cleanly laid out though the lack of any guided search tools is unfortunate - the legal aspects behind the hosting of much of the content is at best questionable, but its intentions are seemingly honourable.

This amusing and exceptionally well-informed resource is the brainchild of director and movie buff Joe Dante. It brings together classic and not-so-classic film trailers and then provides introductions and audio commentaries for them from a wide variety of film industry professionals including such notable movie makers as Dante himself, Edgar Wright, John Landis, Guillermo del Toro, Mary Lambert, John Sayles and Roger Corman, amongst others. The site can be searched by film title, genre, decade and the person making the commentary. The range of films is very broad so that one can hear some straightforward praise as when director John Badham discusses the trailer for To Kill a Mockingbird, which co-starred his sister Mary, and make-up guru Rick Baker comments on the biopic of his hero Lon Chaney, but there are also such unlikely juxtapositions as Neil Labute discussing British technicolor classic, Black Narcissus.

Blog dedicated to movie exponents of ‘film noir’, an influential Hollywood movement / genre of the 1940s and 50s. Each week a new film is added, providing a detailed analysis, stills, posters and embedded clips derived from pre-existing online resources such as YouTube. The site includes a master list as well as a useful guide to titles available on DVD, though being a US-based resource the focus is primarily on NTSC region 1 releases. Active since 2005, nearly 400 films have been included and there still appears to be no end in sight.
