Movies with a nocturnal feeling

Halloween, All The President's Men, Repulsion, stuff like that. I'd love to hear your favorites

 

blade runner
the exorcist

 

Nightcrawler.

Obvious I know, but I love the LA night style portrayed in the film.

 

Obviously vampire films are set during the night. The Iranian film A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night is mostly set in moody black and white night time.

Also love the night scenes in Donnie Darko and It Follows.
