I think that movie blogs, and classic movie blogs in particular, could really use a lot more attention and I really want to help do that in some way. So I’ve decided to (a) look around the web a lot more for great classic film sites and blogs and (b) make a post about them whenever I add them as a link.
So today I have two links to share. They found me, though, and asked to be linked, and after looking at their sites I am more than happy to do so.
Radiation Cinema is even more niche than we are here at Obscure Classics. Mykal Banta writes all about the science fiction B-movies of the 1940s and 1950s. He’s got some amazing and in-depth writeups on movies like I Married a Monster From Outer Space and The Alligator People. The site itself is also pretty damn good looking.
l’eclisse is a more general classic film blog. It’s relatively new, but it already has some very nice content. It seems there’s a lot of attention for Louise Brooks over there, which is pretty awesome. Go visit and give this young blog some love.

Thanks for the links — I checked them out, and both were worthwhile.
I would be remiss if I didn’t toot my own horn a little to bring up my classic Hollywood site, “Carole & Co.” As you can guess from the title, we focus on Carole Lombard, but we also examine people she knew and worked with and many things relating to the Golden Age. My goal is to blend a historian’s perspective with a fan’s enthusiasm. We have more than 760 entries, with all sorts of rare photos.
