BLACK AND WHITE FILMS - YEAH or NEIGH?
 

I think some of the greatest films ever made were in 'Black and White'. Four of my favourites are:

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE:



HIGH NOON:



THE THIRD MAN:



And - CASABLANCA:



Do you watch 'Black and Whites'? If so, which are your favourites?

Woah - absolutely brilliant. Yeah, another favourite of mine.

I'd prefer colour but if there's a film I want to see I wouldn't be put off because it was black and white (Raging Bull, Clerks, I'm Not There, etc)

Could have picked any Billy Wilder film from Sunset Boulevard to Some like it Hot to the Apartment but Ace in the hole is probably my fave.

Mrs Minniver.:love:

They're my fav. I love "It's a Wonderful Life" especially and old Hitchcock movies, the black and white adds to the atmosphere.

..as well as all of the horrors..To Kill a Mocking Bird, All About Eve, Psycho, The Birds, Dial M for Murder, Sunset Boulevard...The Apartment...:lovedup:...

You can't beat Laurel and Hardy, and Charlie Chaplin in black and white:hee:

To kill a Mockingbird is excellent.

Not to forget Of Mice and Men, as well as Scrooge (the one with Alister Sim).

This is the only horror movie that ever really gave me the creeps,I like this version much more than the new one,it's just really spooky and the black and white adds to that.

I was gonna say Psycho and The Birds too.

Also King Kong, and probably others I can't think of. Doesn't really bother me if they're black and white if they're good.

The Fly.....i watched it when i was around 11 years old and it scared me to death!

Also The Elephant Man.....excellent film!

Oh,I like The Elephant man too Ruby.good film

I love black and white films, then again I prefer actors and actresses from that time too, the likes of Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.

So many films I love from that era.
I am sure I was born the wrong time, I should have been born decades ago,as a good amount of modern stuff,as to singers, actresses/actors,to me anyway, I feel have less talent.

I do like black and white. My four favourites are

Brief Encounter
Psycho
Shall We Dance (The original Japenese version)
Rafifi.

The original King Kong is great Kazanne.
I watch it but cannot get the atmosphere of the updated version that I can for the black and white original.

I love black and white films, wish most of the newer ones were made in black and white and with some half decent actors as in the black and whites, but then I also prefer black and white photography.

Ok this is the second time in a week that someone has mistaken me for Kaz :laugh: I'm going to develop an identity disorder soon!

But yeah the original is great :love: Although I do still love the one that Peter Jackson did too

i'ts not a bad thing Jamie :joker:

Some of my favourite black and white films I can think of are 12 Angry Men, Rebecca, The Killing, Dr Strangelove and The Elephant Man.

Some clips:

12 Angry Men.



Rebecca.



The Killing.



Dr Strangelove.



The Elephant Man.

Love 'Rebecca ' too

Whatever Happened to Baby Jane <3

Well, you are both blond and beautiful. :laugh:

You don't all know how chuffed I am that I'm not the only lover of Black and Whites, and I'm amazed at so many of your choices being among my favourites.

Twelve Angry Men is an absolute masterpiece, ditto Baby Jane and so many of the others - some I had even forgot.
