I don't post here much since I don't watch many movies anymore, but I enjoy Dennis Hartley's recommendations via Digby's blog.

Ten mini-synopses with a list of others within this category.

What do you recommend?

1. "Body Heat" is one of my all-time favorite movies,

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

3. I'm going to watch Body Heat next.

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....

4. They mention double indemnity, but don't include it in the top

But Cool Hand Luke is listed? Is that Noir?

I’d put something like The Big Sleep in its place if I could.

5. Yes, I agree with all of your suggestions.
