BLACK & WHITE MOVIES Appreciation Thread.

..and i guess we should include technicolor classics too in case anyone wants.

i just love the black and white, i've been watching so many lately. some stuff just looks beyond genius and would absolutely be ruined in color...

best b&w film ever, as i see it : on the waterfront.

ok, discuss

well I've never seen on the waterfront, don't even know what it is, lol but I REALLY like Baby Doll. That has got to be like one of my favourite films ever.

Other black and white movies that I love:

Psycho
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?
Metropolis
Fausto
Suddenly, Last Summer
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf

i must admit ive only seen a handful, and only the classics, really. of which streetcar was my favorite thus far. but the apartment and roman holiday were good romantic comedies.

dumbass Q since i saw it, but is the hustler in b&w?

i agree completely with baby doll, the misfits, roman holiday, baby jane, suddenly last summer.... great ones!

other great ones that stuck with me:

-streetcar named desire (of course!!)
-from here to eternity
-hud (omg one of my favorites ever)
-sunset boulevard
-the fugitive kind (so criminally underrated!!)
-a place in the sun
-the man with the golden arm (one of the best movies ive seen in a long time)

i'll think of more, you better believe it

I know it isn't a classic, but Sin City was amazing in black & white.

I adore that movie. I haven't seen it in years, although I do have a tape of it that an old boyfriend bought for me (which I thought was awfully sweet, since he specifically did not like old movies). The little boy ("A pigeon for a pigeon!") has been in the press lately - he grew up to work on those very docks (he was a neighborhood kid they stuck in the movie), which are still mobbed up.

Ted Turner should go to hell for colorizing old movies - did they finally make him stop doing that? Besides the impact of black and white, any colors used should have been selected by the filmakers. I actually once turned the color off on my mother's tv because I was watching some movie Turner had violated in that way, and like a week later she called me at school saying "Did you turn the color off on my tv? I can't figure out how to get it back on."

Just recently I saw Mildred Pearce for the first time in a while (birthday dvd from Mom). That's a hell of a film.

Wait until Dark, starring Audrey Hepburn. Scary.
