What's your favorite B&W movie?
Dr. Strangelove!
Not that I know that many but my vote goes to:
Young Frankenstein
Runner up would be:
High Noon
Excluding silent ones; The Third Man, Dr. Strangelove, M, Der Blaue Engel, Brief Encounter.
I'm extremely intrigued about Citizen Kane and always was, but I somehow couldn't ever make up my mind.
Too many to mention. I like Digital Man's choice of Young Frankenstein. But then there's Schindler's List, Raging Bull, Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, Casablanca...
Too many to list, as I said.
The OP states "the best" AND "your favorite". There's a difference.
"Mirage"
Was "Blow Up" in b&w?
"The Bicycle Thief"
"Otto e mezzo"
"The 400 Blows"
Far too many to mention or to remember.
But lots of British comedies do spring to mind.
Gotta show some love to Hitchcock here:
Lifeboat
Rebecca
The Man Who Knew Too much (1934 version)
The Lady Vanishes
Strangers On A Train
The 39 Steps
Saboteur
and, of course, Psycho.
Touch Of Evil
Ed Wood
Some Like It Hot
Dr Strangelove
Sin City
Young Frankenstein
The Third Man
Maltese Falcon
Double Indemnity
12 Angry Men
Stalag 17
#1 Psycho
#2 Eraserhead
Seven Samurai (七人の侍 - Shichinin no Samurai)
The Seventh Seal
Raging Bull
Citizen Cane
Dr. Strangelove
Paper Moon
Casablanca
Double Indemnity
Sunset Blvd.
Night of the Living Dead
The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Love many others mentioned as well... Dr. Strangelove, The Third Man, High Noon.
