    1. That movie was so brilliant with it's use of colors. Everytime something green shows up you know someone is going to die.

    Lost Horizon. Yes it's kitschy but that's half the appeal. For some reason this movie has gotten into my holiday season rotation. We watch it every year sometime after Thanksgiving and before New Year's Day.

  15. Clerks, Maltese Falcon, and a british horror movie I just saw. The American title is Haunted Hotel, which is the WORST title and not at all what the movie is about.

  40. Streetcar named desire...I spent several winters in the house in the French quarter around the corner from the cathedral where Tennessee William's finished writing the play...every morning the tours would come by pointing it out...the interior looked just like the interior of the house in the movie...desire was the name of the project's if you head all the way down royal street, I believe. Some serious vibes in that house, great balcony with the wrought iron. My friend would have strippers the last few nights of Mardi gras... totally insane.

  67. Asking ‘what’s your favorite Black & White movie’ is the same as asking what’s ur favorite movie in color. There is no one answer.

  72. Such an excellent representation of B/W movies. I can't add anyone to it except maybe Sullivan's Travels?

    The Haunting was on tonight. I had to watch it with the sound on 0. Truly the scariest movie ever filmed.

    1. 2nd Young Frankenstein.

      To just go old movies, it is too tough. Have to break em down to Comedy and drama. Cant go wrong with City Lights or Modern Times. Marx Bros miss the cut because they always threw in some boring love songs, so broads would sit through their movies.

      For drama, 12 Angry Men, Key Largo and Maltese Falcon.

      Monster movie, Bride Of Frankenstein & Dracula.

      In the all important Black and White Poontang category, Lauren Bacall, Myrna Loy and the cute piece of ass from 1969's The Babysitter.
