Whats the best B&W movie ever?

remember black and white - it was so cool - then they invented color and the world became confusing and garish - what was the best B&W movie ever

i reckon Psycho ..... any thoughts

Pi.

How does that feel in the nuts now eh?

Far, far too many to name.

Two that come to mind are To Kill a Mockingbird and Schindler's List.

way too many...

one of my fave:

raging bull

Paths of Glory, followed closely by The Elephant Man

Also, Night of the Living Dead

The Thin Man and the original King Kong.

Oh yeah, and Reefer Madness. 😮‍💨

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari..Intolerance..****in' Nosferatu..the majority of the best B&W's were also silent movies, IMO.

The Crowd is also excellent.

Silent in that there was so spoken dialogue. Is this a trick question?

For me, it's Casablanca. And it was also released in technicolor.

Yes.

followed closely by The Elephant Man

Totally agree, amazing film. Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Nosferatu also agree with. 🙂

The Lady Vanishes for me also, my absolute favourite of Hitchcock's films.

King Kong was okay, but very funny. I had to laugh at the awful acting and special effects, lol
To Kill A Mockingbird was good, also.

I haven't seen too many black and whites, so that's about all.

yeah - there were lots of B&W movies I like them ealing comedies - The ladykillers and the Lavender Hill mob etc. - also Pi rocks...

Give me the original King Kong over the Jackson remake anyday.

The Kid (1921) by Charlie Chaplin.

Spider Baby 😱
