Au revoir, Terre Haute

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid

(1982)
Another flick with W.Va. associations--remember seeing it in the theater in downtown Fairmont, with my grad school friend Michael, visiting from Virginia Beach. Also remember finding it hilarious, and while the gimmick--footage from classic '40s & '50s noirs knitted seamlessly (well, pretty much) into the action of the parody/hommage--can never be as fresh again, it holds up remarkably well.
