Its not black and white but Charade is still a lovely film. Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant both on fine form. Another nin black and whiter could be barefoot in the park, with Streisand.

 

[Glow worm]

Passport to Pimlico is good fun. I also like The Bishop's wife - with Cary Grant, Loretta Young and David Niven.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Last Tango in Paris is a good old fashioned romantic weepie.

 

[Markymark]

Thank you all. Some great recommendations.

May all your holidays be southern and
all your phones be i.

All of Will Hay's films, 1930's comedy, brilliant.

 

[Dayvo]

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid was a good modern effort.

 

[Oxo]

African Queen

 

[jonny jeez]

African Queen

Good shout.

 

[Dayvo]

Nosferatu

 

[Tim Hall]

I used to work with a bloke who wouldn't watch black and white films, on the grounds that he'd paid for a colour TV licence and wanted his money's worth.

(Isn't the African Queen in colour? <fx:tappity tap. Yup, IMDB says Technicolor. Still a brilliant film thobut)

 

[Supersuperleeds]

Just turn the colour down on the telly.

Seriously the best B&W film is It's a Wonderful Life

Any of the Ealing comedies- many set in that London before it was ruined by the current occupiers!
