Default For The Film Buffs Only

Top 10 Movies set in Black and White of recent times

1) Raging Bull (1980)
2) La haine (1995)
3) Angel-A (2005)
4) Rumble Fish (1983)
5) Man Bites Dog (1992)
6) The Elephant Man (1980)
7) Young Frankenstein (1974)
8) Dr Strangelove (1964)
9) Pi (1998)
10) The Man Who Wasn’t There (2001)

There's a lot more I wanted to add and despite the numbers it's not in any order.
How about you?

You're allowed to go back to when coloured films came out and the director decided to do them in B/W

Ah, I know.... everybody has different tastes- it would be boring if we were all alike. They just slapped me in the face a bit.

I liked them, but they didnt amaze me, the only reason i gave 3/5 to chinatown is becasue i didnt like the ending.... other then that good film, and ghostbusters bored me sorry to say.... lol sorry.

Nothing to be sorry about. Really. Just Jaws and Chinatown are two of my all time favs. But like I said, we've all got different tastes in things.
