and "The Night of the Hunter" scared the bejeebers out of me when I saw it on late-night tv many years ago.

I think I've seen "The Night of the Hunter" but 50+ years ago. The nice thing about aging is everything old looks brand new....

But Cool Hand Luke is listed? Is that Noir?
Id put something like The Big Sleep in its place if I could.
