One of my favourite wastes of time... The acting, the camera angles, the scripts, the editing, the fake sets... such a part of an obviously by-gone era and yet, still so entertaining to watch.
At the moment, am watching 'Destiny Rides Again' with Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich...
Do you watch B&W films all that often? I watched 'NOTORIOUS' (Hitchcock) with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman the other day...
What was the last B&W film you watched?
MsRx
Clerks
=D
Last one was
Streetcar Named Desire.
It's also the last film I watched full stop.
This was about six months ago. Oh well.
Good choice, Bamos
I hardly ever watch tv but have decided to tune in this afternoon... i haven't watched the box for over a week.
i love a streetcar named desire
not just because of marlon brando, though.
last black and white film i watched was good night and good luck. it's a new one though.
Brief Encounter
I had something in my eye whilst watching that. Andd what's more, I'll tell you what it was. IT WAS A TEAR (as in the watery kind, not a fissure in my eyeball).
"Do you watch B&W films all that often?" I watch good films. Monochrome or otherwise is irrelevant.

all the way through?
probably la haine.
Mildly off subject
but watching Brick really made me want to watch some old detective films/film noir. Where should I start?
Dangermouse?
arf
Brick also made me think of the Diamond brothers books by Anthony Horowitz. The Falcon's Malteser was amazing when I was 10.
try
the maltese falcon
the third man
key largo
pickup on south street
double indemnity
the big sleep
he walked by night
the asphalt jungle
touch of evil
laura
cape fear (original)
white heat
gilda
this gun for hire
DOA
the killing
and for neo-noir:
chinatown
body heat
the long goodbye
bullitt
should be enough to get you started.
bed and sed
I saw a great great one the other day about some little wheedly woman whose mum marries her to a rich bastard who treats her really badly. Then she meets a stereotype of a gypsy who tells her fortune informing her that she will fall in love with a true man/ I loved the way instead of saying 'a' as in 'bad', 'sad', people in those types of movies say 'bed' and 'sed'
