Black and White Favorite

[Motor Jax]

so, i was having a "shower moment" this morning... in the shower...

and was thinking about the black and white shows and movies, and was wondering...

what was your favorite black and white shows and movies?


for me:
-Abbott and Costello (my mom was a huge fan of them)
-I Love Lucy
-I Dream of Genie
-The Andy Griffith Show


(believe it or not, i used to watch these shows religiously)

[Mozzes]

3 Stooges, Charlie Chaplin, and Metropolis.

I recall "I dream of genie" being in color , perhaps I was hallucinating at the time..lol

The first season was in black and white. I think all the shows he listed went to color eventually. A lot of classic shows did.

Since you were having a shower moment about black-and-white movies, I'm surprised you didn't think of Psycho.

Anyway, I'll have to go with Ed Wood.

that was the best season imo

and they all did eventually go to technicolor, which felt like a great era had come to an end... man, i loved the black and white shows

Lassie was also black and white before it went technicolor

[Seppuku Savant]

Twilight Zone, for my vote. I originally thought this was going to be a topic about the game Black & White.

[Motor Jax]

movies:
-King Kong
-Godzilla


the black and white Disney cartoons with Mickey Mouse were and will always be my favorites

[zibber]

The Seventh Seal

[emanon]

Witness for the Prosecution

These are all great (well, I was never actually a "genie" fan). Many of these old gems are still in syndication.

The Day the Earth Stood Still


....and Clerks

[azelismia]

Too many old black and white movies to list. I am particularly fond of screwball comedies though. Anything with carole lombard. Bringing up baby with cary grant and Kathryn hepburn. Monkey business with Cary grant. Hitchcock movies. In my opinion movie making was just a higher caliber in the 30's-50's.

[Homini Lupus]

The great dictator is one best ever. Also, I quite love doctor Strangelove.

[Kisai]

The Avengers
The Hustler
On the Waterfront

[zibber]

A really cute one: The Baker's Girl of Monceau. (All flicks from Eric Rohmer's Six Moral Tales, but some are in color ;))

[ElstonGunn]

They're running a marathon of Twilight Zones. That's not too bad of a show as far as black and white goes.

Bewitched!

I loved TvLand as a child. So many good memories.

and Lost in Space...

[SonOfaWino]

I'll take it one step further and add a black and white silent film. One of my favorite movies ever is "Un Chien Andalou" directed by Salvador Dali and Luis Buñuel. It's one of the most bizzare and interesting movies I've ever seen.

Here's part one:

[Motor Jax]

The Addams Family... an oldie favorite i used to watch religiously...

[Liason]

[Beery Swine]

Shit! Can't believe I forgot about Arsenic and Old Lace. A classic if there ever was one.

If you like comedies watch that movie!

[Vertigo]

Little Rascals and Giligans Island were my two favourites. Oh and the Twilight Zone!!!

[Motor Jax]
