I saw "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" first as a kid (and later read the novel which is also very good,) but in my case, I learned to refrain from putting my hand under rocks in the desert or in dark corners of an old garage that has spider webs. Having lived in Arizona, I still shake out shoes if for some reason I have to reach inside. Except when in a shoe store.
