Black and White Movies

Young Frankenstein, Jacques Tati Mr Hulot's holiday and Mon Uncle [really all of his movies cannot remember if Mon Uncle is colour or B and W have to dig out the DVD] . All the Laurel and Hardy shorts and features and the Three Stooges the same.
 
One BW favorite is "The Train" with Bert Lancaster just putting yourself in their shoes..

I've been watching several Humphery Bogart movies lately on Youtube, and when they convert them to colour, it to me loses some appeal

The list of BW fav's could be miles long... they certainly knew how to make original movies back then..

Another good BW is Larceny Inc with Edward G Robinson.
 
A horrific black and white film that because it was in black and white brought home the true reality of depraved human behaviour against true love and compassion for fellow human beings......Schindler's List.
I urge EVERYONE to watch it....it should give us all a lesson from history.
You will not be the same after you have watched it compared to before you watched it.
X!
 
Here on the other side of the Pond, Perry Mason was filmed in black and white which lent a certain air to the show. As a test, they did exactly one episode in color which only served to demonstrate the fact that black and white was better for that genre.
