I always liked that one myself. Regarding your BLADE RUNNER question: Film Noir was essentially a style, not a genre, so it should be of no concern that it's a scifi movie.
I tend to agree to the opinion, that the 'classic' period ended with TOUCH OF EVIL, anything beyond that could probably be considered 'Neo Noir'... I have stretched the term on the website, though, including titles like POINT BLANK or CHINATOWN.
