Favorite B&W Movies


The Enchanted Cottage with a young Robert Young, followed closely by The Ghost and Mrs Muir. You can plainly see I'm a big sap.

Does "Dead Man Don't Wear Plaid" count? But seriously folks..."Casablanca" is one of my top five movies. I can't even relegate it to the B&W list. It means too much to me.

Ooohhh...I forgot about Arsenic & Old Lace

Yeah, I've often thought that I REALLY have to watch Casablanca. It's funny, but every time I watch one of those 100Best Movies Ever countdowns or sit in on a conversation about the best movies, Casablanca is always mentioned. I find myself agreeing and then I remember that I've never seen it! I'm at the point where I worry what will happen to me if and when I DO decide to watch it. Being a person who hasn't seen Casablanca has become part of my identity. The core of my being will surely be changed forever when I break down and rent it. I always think of it this way...

Ever since the very first Christmas (26 yrs ago) that I spent with Hub's family, his Mom asked for a magazine rack from his Dad. She didn't get one. For years and years, she asked and, still, no magazine rack. Anyone else in the family COULD have helped her out, or, she could have bought herself one at anytime of the year, but no one ever bought one for her. Then, one Christmas, we arrived at her house and Voila!, there was a magazine rack next to her chair in the living room. Each family that trickled in was, in turn, shocked and speechless. We still don't know who bought her one or if she bought it herself, but, for the adults, Christmas has never really been the same without the "mysteriously never-gifted magazine rack" to wonder about. So, if I finally watch Casablanca, the mystery of wondering if I ever will, will be missing from my life and then who will I be...

Re: Favorite B&W Movies


To Kill a Mockingbird and The Little Princess are my favorites. I remember really liking 12 Angry men when we watched it in Highschool, but I don't remember enough of it to say it's a favorite.

Re: Favorite B&W Movies


Mrs. D, 12 Angry Men has been on AMC for the past couple of months, pops up here and there. Ironic thing is, the story hasn't changed as far as racism since it was made. You would think we would learn/evolve, yet so many people have a predetermination in mind based on race or nationality before they even hit the courtroom.

Okay. Watch "Annie Hall". Then sometime soon watch "Casablanca". I'm not one for old movies. My grandmother always copied that perfect diction that they have in the old movies and it really ruins it for me. But I loooooooove "Casablanca". It really has an extra something that other movies of that era don't. Also, count the contemporary quotes that originated from it. Shakespeare would be jealous.
