I can't believe no-one has mentioned my favourite film (b/w or colour), CARRY ON SPYING!

I love that film!

Looking at richard's list, had we really all overlooked Kind Hearts and Coronets?

Mildred Pierce
To kill a mocking bird
All about eve
Whatever happened to baby jane
Some like it hot

.....pure entertainment.

It's a Wonderful Life - My very favorite film!
12 Angry Men - Best cast ever!
To Kill a Mockingbird - Gregory Peck, what a legend!!!
Rebecca - Hitchcocks finest! Don't belive the hype!
The Third Man - Cuckoo clocks!

They don't make'em like that anymore

wow - so many great films on this thread!

Can I mention also, A Place In The Sun - Montgomery Clift, Elizabeth Taylor (looking just amazing) and Shelley Winters.

Also - need to throw a bit of SciFi into the mix - Invasion of The Body Snatchers and Them - B Movie Classics.

Also - Imitation of Life (1934 not the melodramatic 1959 version). This film was so ahead of its time. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025301/

Bit of campy fun to be found in The Cat and The Canary (1939 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031143/)

Maybe dirtydamnape and I should have made the DigitalSpy Film Club black and white movies only, given the number of hits this thread has got!
Come on guys - feel free to join in - we are discussing The Shawshank Redemption this week.

Isn't 'Rope' in colour?
Agree with all the suggestions so far and would add 'Night of the Hunter' and 'To Kill a Mockingbird'

Posted same film simulaneously great minRAB,,,,

 

[teddyboy]

Yeah, thanks! For some reason I think of it as being in b/w.

 

[Mickey1]

For me its got to be:

Metropolis
A picture of Dorian Grey
Mrs Miniver
Wuthering Heights
Whatever happened to Baby Jane

 

[013megustastu013]

I think I am on the same wavelength. I would add 'The best years of our lives' ' On the waterfront' and ' The appartment'

 

[girlygirl1400]

Has any one mentioned High Noon, possibly the first film made in real time, 50 years before 24 hours.

 

[Canteen]

Whatever happened to baby jane.

 

[lauren_nichole5]

One of the most visually stunning B&W films has just been shown by Ch4; 'The Third Man'

 

[Magureanu]

i just had to buy king kong today for

 

[erika24]

Oh yes of course, with the great 'Cuckoo Clock' speech. Just brilliant. They certainly don't make like that anymore.

I recently watched 'Reach For The Sky' with Kenneth More, about Douglas Bader, the legenedary WWII hero who lost his legs and learnt to fly again. That was a great movie.

I also love 'Brief Encounter'. Classic British repressed romance!
