Black and white movies on a Sunday

Rose-Kitten [Edit] [Delete] 19 replies 17:08, 9 July '06

One of my favourite wastes of time... The acting, the camera angles, the scripts, the editing, the fake sets... such a part of an obviously by-gone era and yet, still so entertaining to watch.

At the moment, am watching 'Destiny Rides Again' with Jimmy Stewart and Marlene Dietrich...

Do you watch B&W films all that often? I watched 'NOTORIOUS' (Hitchcock) with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman the other day...

What was the last B&W film you watched?

Last one was

Streetcar Named Desire.

It's also the last film I watched full stop.

This was about six months ago. Oh well.

    but watching Brick really made me want to watch some old detective films/film noir. Where should I start?

        Brick also made me think of the Diamond brothers books by Anthony Horowitz. The Falcon's Malteser was amazing when I was 10.

- bed and sed
  
  I saw a great great one the other day about some little wheedly woman whose mum marries her to a rich bastard who treats her really badly. Then she meets a stereotype of a gypsy who tells her fortune informing her that she will fall in love with a true man/ I loved the way instead of saying 'a' as in 'bad', 'sad', people in those types of movies say 'bed' and 'sed'

- "Do you watch B&W films all that often?" I watch good films. Monochrome or otherwise is irrelevant.
