I'm pretty sure North by Northwest was filmed in color. Great movie though.

Marx brothers, how did I forget them, funny stuff.

I am trying real hard to even think of a B&W movie I have seen that isn't listed here already!

But a couple of my favs:

Casablanca, Stalag 17.

Even some of my all time favorites, Danny Kaye's early flicks, were in color. Or at least colorized

SaltyMcGee · 08-13-2010, 09:20 PM

A Streetcar Named Desire

Schindlers List
Does it qualify since there is some color in the movie. The girl with red coat and the flame.

blugill · 08-14-2010, 07:11 AM

Most of my favorites are black and white.
Nearly everything directed by Kurosawa is one of my favorites including: Seven Samurai (as stated above) Ikiru, Red Beard, Throne of Blood, Sanjuro, and Yojimbo.
Casablanca
It's A Wonderful Life (and nearly every Capra movie as well)
There's really too many to list once I get rolling but many stated above qualify for me as well, especially Mockingbird.

The Charlie Chan series

What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? with Bette Davis and Joan Crawford. I found the movie a bit odd even by today's standards, and I can only imagine how far out people thought it was when it was originally released in 1962.

Jbailey · 08-15-2010, 11:38 PM

Lots of good movies listed here. I loved the Kurosawa films and stuff by The Marx Brothers.

I would add a few:
Maltese Falcon
The Wild One
The Great Dictator
Modern Times
Raging Bull
Rumble Fish

Schindler's List is mostly B&W right?
