..it wasn't a black and white but one of my dad's favourite movies was Zulu...he always asked on Christmas Day, what time it would be on so that he could time his snoozes around it...and Great Escape was also a huge favourite of his, hence us having the theme music to that at his funeral...


...with Bette Davis...one of the greatest and most romantic lines in any movie was Now Voyager and...Oh Jerry, don't let's ask for the moon...we have the stars..that whole scene is one of my all time favourite movie scenes.....

I've just posted that very quote on your wall.

Citizen Kane has got to be up there with the greats. Someone's already mentioned Mrs Miniver, another classic. The Bells Go Down with Tommy Trinder, To Kill and Mocking Bird, Hobson's Choice (anything with John Mills in it is good), Casablanca of course. Grapes of Wrath, Some Like It Hot... the list is endless.

I don't watch many black and white movies, but i do have some Laurel and Hardy dvds. I get them out when i need cheering up.

... If it was made before "Back To The Future" then I'm afraid it just leaves me cold. That film was in fact the birth of cinema. A genuine masterpiece.

Brilliant film, arista. Love David Niven.

Talking of Bette Davies. 'Another Man's Poison' was also a favourite, mainly because it was filmed at Malham Tarn near where I come from.
Also Dr. Strangelove and Arsenic and Old Lace and The Lavender Hill Mob with the wonderful Alec Guiness.

Another Bette Davis fan here, love most of her films.

Also no-one could deliver a line like Bette with such sarcastic wit

Laurel and Hardy... still brilliantly funny after all this time.
