Suggest a Black and White era movie

[Arslan]

Suggest a black and white film that you enjoy watching!

My first suggestion is The Night of the Hunter. The movie is just so damn creepy...this scary man chasing these two young kids trying to hunt them down. The hymn he chants gives me shivers to this day.

 

[The Dark Knight.]

From Here To Eternity

Casablanca

Bad Day at Black Rock

Marty

The Big Sleep

To Have and Have Not

The Petrified Forest

Captians Coragous

 

[Sherry]

Miracle on 32nd Street!

Classic Film Noir:

Most famous perhaps for its groundbreaking extended opening shot, with a crane mounted camera tracking four minutes of action. Great camera angles, great performances, a little-known and under-appreciated masterpiece.

More classic film noir ... with the witty sexual banter thinly disguised to pass the censors.

Stanwyck as ultimate femme fatale, McMurray in the ill-fated downward spiral:

On second thought, Lana Turner is the ultimate femme fatale:

Best contemporary Film Noir.

From the Coen Brothers with a killer cast: Billy Bob Thornton, Frances McDormand, James Gandolfini, Scarlett Johannson, Richard Jenkins, Tony Salhoub ... and Beethoven on the soundtrack.

Cant believe no one mentioned the maltese falcon. Saw it for the first time this year in a theatre. Love the film noir stuff

 

[AVDADDY]

The one that is considered one of the best movies of all time.

Citizen Kane

You guys probably even watched the last time the Leafs won Lord Stanley's cup too! (that was in 1967 which ALSO predated colour media...)

Take a lesson from your Hula-girl... she has the right idea!

 

[kELLz !]

This movie was so good, so groundbreaking it needs to be mentioned twice :

 

[What cookie...]

Papa I swear he just regurgitates the same babble over and over again.

I will officially rename him Recycleguy.Lol.

And what's with all these emotion symbols all the farking time, jeez what's next are you going to start drinking cranberry juice when it's that time of the month?

 

[Allison D]

Fixed your post:




Couldn't locate the movie title though. Was she an extra in Birth of a Nation?

Pretty sure DW Griffith invented the close-up shot.

 

[blue eyed devil]

Believe it or not, I have never watched Casablanca.....I PVR'd it last night going to watch it finally......

How come no one mentioned the (in)famous "Plan 9 from Outer Space"??

 

[lil_boy_as]

I've seen a lot of faves already mentioned, many people with great taste in classic movies.

How about adding "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?", "The Philadelphia Story", "All About Eve", "On The Waterfront", "The Magnificent Ambersons", "Detour", "Raging Bull", "The Big Sleep"?
I liked all these when I was in my twenties, so the old geezer label doesn't fit when it comes to appreciating timeless works of art.
