These are all amazing, practically oozing with feeling!

I'm of the opinion that night scenes in cinema should be shot with a similarly tinted green.

Not black as is the case now thanks to the Caravaggio's chiaroscuro inspired film noir light.

Nor as the blue light of early color films. Blue feels like dusk or dawn. For example the recent nosferatu by Eggers.

Green must be the cinematic color of the night sky.

I think I recall a few films that did this. I want to say City of Lost Children and/or Dark City had green sky effects.
