Default 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:

Youtube video


HIGH NOON:

Youtube video


THE THIRD MAN:

Youtube video


And - CASABLANCA:

Youtube video


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

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.

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

To kill a Mockingbird is excellent.

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

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 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.

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

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

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 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 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.

Twelve Angry Men is a brilliant film. I love anything with Bette Davis in it, Ealing comedies, British films made during the war like In Which We Serve, Went The Day Well and This Happy Breed (although I think that was in colour). I really like the old silent films too... all the comics, Buster Keaton, Chaplin of course, and the Fritz Lang classics Nosferatu and Metropolis.

Awesome actress, when I watch her films I do so in total silence, love how she can make you hate her in some, feel really sad for her, as in 'The Old maid' film and 'Dark Victory' and then also really love her too.

Twelve Angry Men is also a great film but then Henry Fonda is a great actor too.
Those kind of films were pure class.
