Good guess - - ha! "NoLD" is indeed my very very very favorite Number One movie! :)
I will use the same reply for everyone who answered my question (except for the one answermugger who correctly answered all three of my recent movie questions):
this one if director Wolf Rilla's "Village of the Damned" (1960) [the original movie version, not the much-later remake]
As about an 11-years-old guy, I remember staying up late, and then getting our of bed late at night, without telling my family I wanted to watch the movie when I had seen it was going to be shown on TV - - the movie ANNIHILATED me in the best of ways- - pure fright in an honest unassuming way. No in-your-face stuff -- Authentic somehow. I soon afterward went to the public library and checked out the novel from which the movie was based -- John Wyndham's "The Midwich Cuckoos." (My favorite title of any book.)
Wyndham remains one of my top favorite authors.
I love everything about this movie.

Before I reply to others who answered this question and my two other related movie-picture questions, I had to reply to you first:
The moment I saw that you had answered my three questions, and based on other posts I've seen of yours related to music/ fine arts/etc., and before I even read your answers, I had a strong assumption that you would correctly nail all three movies -- and you did.
I do wonder if you knew the movies simply by the pictures - - or if you "researched" the photos themselves. :)
