Be patient till the last.
I just had a convo with a racist who will not watch B & W films as they are "boring".
How she would know this as she doesnt watch them....anyway, we're not talking about illogical gits here we're listing GREAT films she has never seen, including:

Adam's Rib
Dr Strangelove
Casablanca,
A Christmas Carol,
The Bishop's Wife,
Metropolis
Night of the Hunter (remember his knuckles with "love" and "hate"?)
The Bicycle Thief
All About Eve
Bringing Up baby
Arsenic and Old Lace


there was also one bizarre but compelling one by[I think] Salavador Dali, which I can't remember the title of - but there was a scene with someone taking a razor blade to an eyeball - akkk! - unforgettable image.

Also that propoganda one of Hitler by whatshername. That was pretty amazing. She caught his charisma beautifully. The guy comes across like a kindly uncle.
 
What's on your list?
 
oh, damn! that one with Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers...I can watch it over and over.

Some Like It Hot
Roman Holiday
Sabrina
 
Metropolis
Night of the Living Dead
The Day the Earth Stood Still
Frankenstein

Good call on "Arsenic and Old Lace". "Casablanca" is a given, but I'd have forgotten that one.

I would put "Nosferatu" on par with "Metropolis". It isn't like "Casablanca" for me, but it's a good, well-made film.

Some films where they were made in black and white by choice include "Psycho" and "Raging Bull". Ooh! And "The Night of the Living Dead"! Definitely goes in the "favorites" category. Did you know the studio wound up renaming the film at the last moment and when they did they fucked up the copyright message so technically Romero has no right to the film? :mad:
 
Others not already mentioned, that I own (and in no particular order):

The Apartment
It's a Wonderful Life
To Kill a Mockingbird
Psycho
North by Northwest
Schindler's List
Rebecca
The Hustler
Brief Encounter
Brighton Rock
 
Laurel and Hardy's "Babes in Toyland"!
The Three Stooges shorts where they are psychologists, trying to make a girl laugh and there's a huge pie fight; and the one where they are wallpapering an office.
 
THOSE EARLY EPISODES OF STEPTOE AND SON.
 
All About Eve
Stage Door
It Happened One Night
Duck Soup
A Night at the Opera
The Philadelphia Story
Woman of the Year
It's a Wonderful Life
His Girl Friday
Casablanca
My Man Godfrey
Citizen Kane
Mildred Pierce
Clerks
Ed Wood
March of the Wooden Soldiers
House on Haunted Hill
Miracle on 34th Street
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
The Fatal Glass of Beer
Dracula
Frankenstein/Bride of Frankenstein
You Can't Take It with You
The Heiress
Lifeboat
Paper Moon

THAT'S ALL FOR NOW...
 
someone who avoids the B & W films is missing out on some fantastic stuff.
That's all I'm sayin'.
 
never seen the Fatal Glass of Beer...what's it about?
 
Lethal Weapon!

You have the power too, my black brother. Stop playing the victim and be the equal that you whine about being prevented from being.

LET US ALL NOW SING GOSPEL SONGS WITH WAY TOO MUCH FREE-FORM MODULATION.
 
I keep thinking Henoch has hacked Hambil's account when I see that av.
 
WHOOPS!

Got another one. Technically I haven't actually seen this one, but at least two different films have lifted stuff from it, so it must be worth seeing. I'm watching one of them right now. In the trial scene, where Chang is speaking in Klingon and they cut to the translators and then cut back to his lips--and the rest of the scene goes in English? That was lifted straight out of "Judgment at Nuremberg". :cool:
