What a great movie.

I'll add:

And Then There Were None (the one on the island)
Duck Soup
A Night at the Opera
Animal Crackers

The Bank Dick
It's A Gift
Never Give a Sucker an Even Break
You Can't Cheat an Honest Man
International House

These last five are from my favorite comedian of all time.

Battleship Potemkin

Eraserhead

Birth of a Nation

Wow, anything with the Marx Brothers, that stuff was just so perfectly entertaining.
I like old Harold Lloyd films.
I thought In Cold Blood was just a terriffic film. To Kill a Mockingbird, goes without saying.
Bringing Up Baby....Some Like it Hot might be (IS) my actual favorite.

Haha, Subvet named a few I'd forgotten. All the Thin man films are cool as $hit.
And Paper Moon WAS cool.

Good Night and Good Luck.

EVERY Marx Brothers movie

In addition to all the good ones already listed:

- Stalag 17

JaKaacH · 08-13-2010, 12:36 AM

I'm pretty sure North by Northwest was filmed in color. Great movie though.

Marx brothers, how did I forget them, funny stuff.

icehog3 · 08-13-2010, 12:40 AM

Spartacus, one of my all time favorite films, is not a black and white film (the Kirk Douglas one anyways). It is an awesome film though.

I am trying real hard to even think of a B&W movie I have seen that isn't listed here already!

But a couple of my favs:

Casablanca, Stalag 17.

Even some of my all time favorites, Danny Kaye's early flicks, were in color. Or at least colorized

jmsremax · 08-13-2010, 08:54 PM

Casablanca
Clerks

JaKaacH · 08-13-2010, 10:02 PM

Just remembered another one..Or two.

Hud
Paul Newman and Patricia Neal. She the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for this film.

The Day The Earth Stood Still
Another Patricia Neal film and B&W Classic.
She passed away last Sunday..
RIP Patricia Neal

SaltyMcGee · 08-13-2010, 10:20 PM

A Streetcar Named Desire

kugie · 08-14-2010, 07:45 AM

Schindlers List
Does it qualify since there is some color in the movie. The girl with red coat and the flame.

blugill · 08-14-2010, 08:11 AM

Most of my favorites are black and white.
Nearly everything directed by Kurosawa is one of my favorites including: Seven Samurai (as stated above) Ikiru, Red Beard, Throne of Blood, Sanjuro, and Yojimbo.
Casablanca
It's A Wonderful Life (and nearly every Capra movie as well)
There's really too many to list once I get rolling but many stated above qualify for me as well, especially Mockingbird.
