wow

[hammersavage]

On the Waterfront
Casablanca

Two of the greatest films ever.


And half of Pleasantville

Inherit the Wind, Fail-Safe.

[epo]

Third Man
Touch of Evil
400 Blows
Notorious
Shadow of a Doubt
Crossfire

[drjoek]

The first 15 minutes of Wizard of Oz

[hammersavage]

Ed Wood, The Man Who Wasn't There, and how could I forget Manhattan

[Dude!]

wow

look at me i'm so insecure
in my lack of exposure
to things off the beaten
path that i have to make
snarky comments when
someone likes things i've
never heard of

[lleeder]

http://www.impawards.com/1988/posters/mississippi_burning.jpg




Is it too late to say that one?

[epo]

i love that movie. it's fucking creepy.

I think it (Shadow of a Doubt) is not only a great movie, but its a movie that especially works because of black & white film. The manner in that film that Hitchcock uses shadows and smoke is amazing, but only could be done properly in b&w.

[Hottub]

On The Waterfront
Some Like It Hot
Night Of The Living Dead
From Here To Eternity
Psycho
To Kill A Mockingbird

[RhinoinMN]

Has anybody said Grapes of Wrath?

[MagillaGorillaz]

High Noon

[spankyfrank]

Dr. Strangelove

[epo]

Has anybody said Grapes of Wrath?

Nope. Those Okies deserved to eat dirt.

My all time favorite is The Third Man.
a one of a kind masterpiece...better than those other Orson Wells movies.

Well... Maybe tied with Schindler's list, Citizen Kane.

Based on what I've seen.

[keithy_19]

I now that it is a black and white film, but never considered Schidnler's List to be one. I guess when I think of black and white movies I think of an era, rather than an 'art' form. So while I love the afformentioned film, it's not my favorite black and white movie. That title would have to go to Citizen Kane.

And on a side note, I'll be in a black and white short film which has me kind of excited. Nothing big, just an NYU thing, but who knows.

probably the best Kubrick film and my favorite.
If you saw the Sellars Bio movie with Geoffrey Rush, it was a very collaborative effort with many changes on script and performances being improvised to the point of perfection.

i didn't see that, but i
read-up on the movie today

Kubrick had contracted for Sellars
to do a 4th part in the movie...
the Slim Pickens role...but
Sellars managed to get out of that,
because he thought it would detract

he should have gotten
an oscar for that role
geh-geh-geh

Roots
The Color Purple
Friday

Birth Of A Nation
American History X (first half)
Roots (for certain parts)

I think he broke his leg which Sellars was crazy enough to have maybe manipulated.

Agree. I really like this movie.

Can't / don't watch movies on AMC anymore. Way too many commercials. Unfortunately Netflix doesn't go very deep as far as older classics go. TCM is cool.

Absotootley. But, I'm a JJ fan; and, an avid seeker of all quiet films (my phrase). Great music, to boot.

Though I haven't reviewed this entire thread, if no one's yet gone on and on about Wild Strawberries, consider it on-and-on'd, here. I watch this top shelf movie every year around Oscars, at least. I know ... reading a movie ....

I've been doing a whole JJ retrospective because he's been putting out deluxe discs....

His minimaliam can be both frustrating and exhilirating.

Gimme a hand, expert. Put Van Zant in my "quiet" category, too, and whom else fits?

Italian Neo-realism is an influencial source. Umberto D by DeSica is my favorite.
It is an unbelievably sad story of an old man taking care of his dog (which reminds me of a minimalist film with Michelle Williams called Wendy and Lucy)(which was not in Black and White)

some interesting facts

Jimmy Stewart was the first actor to take a percentage with this picture and got rich. It also featured newcomers Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis as an indian chief and calvary soldier.

Citizen Kane, which had some of the most innovative use of lighting and shadow in any B&W film I've ever seen.


Possibly the best film ever made.
