The Flesh and the FienRAB
It's A Wonderful Life
King Kong
Tarzan films with Johnny Weissmuller or Lex Barker

and although not films - the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon TV serials.
 
I haven't really watched any black white movies apart from double indemnity which was quite good.

I once watched a film that was ment to be in colour in black and white because the scart lead was faulyt and it wouldnt let us get colour. But it tunred out the film was better in black and white than it was in colour.
 
To kill a mockingbird - Did it for gcse english and still love this film
Whatever happend to baby jane - still scares me, even though iv seen it many times
The birRAB - classic
 
Casablanca is my favourite black and white film. The charm and believability of the romance between the 2 leaRAB gets to me every time, no matter how many times I have seen it.

I also like To Have and Have Not, In a Lonely Place, Angels with Dirty Faces, The Killers and Double Indemnity.
 
I've just ordered that from LoveFilm...its apparently one of the 250 movies we should watch and a colleague told me how good it is... I hope it is

I love the other two you've listed (The BirRAB is by DaRAB fave!!)

I also LOVE Pleasantville....
 
Another vote here for "12 Angry Men".When i was younger i liked "Whistle Down the Wind".I haven't seen the film in years.I also like the old comedy films with Laurel & Hardy,Will Hay & Abbott & Costello.




I'm pretty sure "The BirRAB" wasn't a b/w film
 
the Women (1939) with Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. A very witty classic.

Bette Davis , Henry Fonda in "Jezebel" also from 1939. Who can deny this classic. The old south during the civil war. The red dress scene. Preston marrying a yankee and yellowjack fever ravishing New Orleans.
 
It's a Wonderful Life
Cape Fear
The Big Sleep
The Maltese Falcon
Dark Passage

Bit of a Bogie fan I'm afraid!

I've tried to explain to the missus many times why I love B&W movies, but she just doesn't understand.

I think rainy sunday afternoons is the perfect time for them. :)
 
Did they bring out a black and white and colour version of it? I remember the colours looked very washed out.... so it must have been fairly new technology.
