Suggestions for scary horror, noir, and tear jerkers?
Court case: 12 Angry Men, A Few Good Men
Scary horror: Alien, Psycho, Halloween
Noir: Double Indemnity, The Maltese Falcon
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm waiting for 12 angry men which is on the equivalent of my Netlix list, and I just saw A few good men last night - I'll add that now.
Never seen Halloween, and it's been too many years since I've seen Alien and (Hitchcock's) Psycho to remember how scary they were (tho probably not that much if I can't remember).
I've put both noir's in my Netlix equivalent list.
