For those of you who are avid film noir/neo-noir DVD/Blu-ray buyers, I thought it might not be a bad idea to have a thread here where online sales can be announced.

Arrow Films (UK-based) currently has a sale going on:
http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=89
Noirs on sale include The Killers (1946), The Killers (1964), The Killing/Killer's Kiss, Bound and The Night Of The Hunter.
Most of their blu's are region B I believe. Arrow also has a reward points program, so you can get discounts on future purchases.

Network, another UK-based distributor, also has a sale going on at the moment:

Interesting releases for this board include The Last Seduction, Sharman (90s noir-ish TV series), and several Britnoirs like Assassin For Hire & Portrait Of Alison (aka Postmark For Danger).
Also expect region B for blu-ray's, tho most of their releases are DVD.

Great idea for a thread Xhc! I want to second your mention of Network,who are easily my favourite DVD company,thanks to them bringing out 100s of near-forgotten TV shows & films.After telling a family friend about their sale yesterday,he has just ordered the very good Linda Hayden Drama Baby Love and a TV show called For the Love of Ada.

Barnes & Noble's Criterion 50% off sale started again. Noirs include The Killers, The Friends Of Eddy Coyle, Odd Man Out, Ride The Pink Horse etc.
Unfortunately B&N also recently increased their (international) postage prices quite a bit, but depending on where you live it can be a nice way to grab some Criterions. Their blu-rays are generally region A locked.

It is limited to about 2 dozen titles, mostly boxsets of old TV series, some that might be of noir-interest are: Callan, The Professionals & The Sweeney.

Arrow's sale is back on, http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/shop/index.php?route=product/category&path=89
With the British pound taking a beating, now's the time to take advantage! 😉
The Killers (1946 & 1964), The Killing, Rififi, The Night Of The Hunter, Thieves' Highway... As well as plenty of Giallo's, De Palma's and other assorted goodies.

Their upcoming releases of The Blue Dahlia and The Glass Key are not included in the sale, but I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to them! Hopefully that means This Gun For Hire (and Saigon!) will follow soon... That would be amazing.
