Brief Encounter, directed by David Lean and written by Noel Coward, is a beautiful and elegaic film. I highly recommend you watch it if you ever have the chance! I have it on DVD! |

elegiac is a great word. a romance/drama from 1945? it's not boring? i've yet to see an american film from the 40's that i've really enjoyed. they're usually propaganda films or racist or just badly-made. so what did you like most about it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually, i take part of that back, because there are some really good hitchcock films from that period. but lately, i've been watching a lot of american films from that decade, and they have all been really really disappointing. |

Don't forget, Hitchcock was British. And so is Brief Encounter. And it's from 1946 ;) |

ah! now here we go. i made a couple errors by not looking closely enough at the imdb page. i know hitchcock was british, but didn't he make a lot of films in hollywood? i will try and check this "picture" out... |

Why, "Dr. Strangelove - or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb" of course, it's simply the best movie ever made. |

There are many. It's a whole many years of black and white films. The only I own are Even Dwarfs Started Small and Night of the Hunter, both of those are very good. |

It's A Wonderful Life. Fucking hell, this is like the best film in the world. |

thanks, another film to add to my 'to buy' list :) |

I reccomend the films of Robert Bresson, Au Hassard Balthazar, Mouchette. Also Breathless by Jean Luc Goddard |
||||||||

for not having seen "Dr. Strangelove" you suck. |
||||||||
|
|

well its never on the telly, and it doenst seem to be available in blockbuster. although they have the girl next door, so maybe I could comprimise. |

Manhatten! FUcking excellent film! It seems to have aged less than other Woody Allen films and I think the B&W has got something to do with it. |

It is amazing the amount of people around who still refuse to watch Black & White films. As many of the films herein mentioned testify, these Ignorami are missing out on so much greatness. |

I thought this topic was "Great BBW Films", in which case I was prepared to post some links. |

Nuit et Brouillard ('Night and Fog') in about 35 minutes this film/documentary learns you more about the holocaust than all other documentaries about this subject not exactly 'great' the way like it is probably meant in this thread, yet i'd recommend it to everyone |

12 Angry Men's a great B&W flick. Think it's 1950's, it pretty much all takes place in one room the shooting, about a jury attempting to decide whether to condemn a young man to the death sentance. Brilliant stuff. |

dead man is rather special |
