“Dark City: The Lost World of Film Noir” (Revised and Expanded Edition) by Eddie Muller

One of my favorite genres of film is film noir, especially in beautiful black and white.  There are so many great film noirs out there to look through and read about in this fantastic book.  One of the films you can learn more about is “Rear Window,” the classic Hitchcock film.  Other films discussed by this talented author include “Naked Alibi,” “Laura” and “Sudden Fear” to name a few. This is a 264-page book filled with phenomenal images and tremendous writing. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading it. This is just one of many great books they have to offer on their website. Also included is a great book on the cinematic classic, “West Side Story.”

Sip and Watch with TCM’s Wine Club

Now, even though I’m straight edge and don’t drink, I’ve heard wonderful things about the wines produced by TCM. They pair nicely with a classic film!  You can also drink your TCM Wine while enjoying one of their many amazing books. The TCM Wine Club ships out limited-production wines from around the world. You will receive your shipment quarterly. The bottles feature artwork and images from some of your favorite films and actors.  As a special introductory offer, you can save up to $160 on your very first collection. Choose between red or white wines or even a combination of both. As a special welcome, you will also receive 3 bonus classic movie wines. This is a wine lover’s dream!

TCM provided me with the Elvis wine, which my dad is absolutely going to love, as he’s a huge fan of the King!
