Long-time lurker here ...
I know the list is full of noir fans, as I've corresponded
with several of you. I'm sure many of you are like me:
disappointed that your local video store doesn't enough of
the obscure stuff. I'd love to BUY more videos, but usually
what, 20 bucks or so, for an obscure title. To a middle-aged
government worker like myself, about to step off into the
shadows ... it adds up.
Would anybody be interested in contributing to a round-robin
of noir video rentals? Here's how it would work:
1. Each member of the group/list buys ONE video title of a
moderately obscure noir title on video.
2. Watch your movie, then send it to the next person on the
list within ONE WEEK.
3. Receive a new movie in the mail.
4. Rinse and Repeat.
5. If we can get 50 members, that's a year's worth of movies,
for the cost of ONE movie and a few bucks postage.
If you're interested, please contact me off-list at:

PS: Actually, we do have a good local video store (Video 21),
and they ARE good with obscure stuff ... but I'm hoping to
really latch onto some noir I've never seen.
