For that matter, I had considered posting 'Careful' Guy Maddin. If you know Guy Maddin (Canada) then you'll know what I mean-a few of his films could go on here, but 'Careful' is really cool...

[Fierce Critter]

Speaking of Archibald Leech...

Trying to remember if "Charade" and "North by Northwest" were color or B&W. If B&W, add them to my list.

Oh yeah - City Lights (Chaplin) is a lovely, lovely movie.

Stranger Than Paradise

Down By Law

Sanjuro

Yojimbo

Night of the Living Dead

Throne of Blood

Metropolis

and... I would say The Wizard of Oz definitely counts! Altho I think the Technicolor sequence runs longer than the b/w ones.

[Paper Hearts]

Seven Samurai

I'm definitely with you on Metropolis. One of the classics.

Also Yojimbo, Sanjuro, Rashomon, Seven Samurai, The Seventh Seal....

[Scary Guy]

"Arsenic and Old Lace" was great, I've never seen the whole thing, just usually the last part of it, many years ago.

Charlie Chaplin in "The Gold Rush"

I haven't seen the original "Metropolis" but I saw the animated version and liked it a lot. Really wanted to watch the original first though.

"Nosforatu" I haven't seen, but I like "Dracula"

Also recently saw Phantom of the Opera (1931 I think?)

The Blob is always a favorite

Oh yeah and of course Clerks

Night of the Living Dead was great and I met Kyra Schon who played the little girl last year at www.cinemawasteland.com in Ohio.

If you have an old TV or take the tint all the way down on a newer one though any movie can be black and white, or if you happen to be colorblind.

[Lilith]

I really enjoy old b&w cartoons, like betty boop, woody wood pecker, original micky mouse, popeye, etc......

shirley temple movies

Gone with the Wind
