Black & White Films

from The Midnight Run · host Quirky Mirth

Send us Fan MailBlack and white films were practically the film industry for the first 40 years, so there is an embarrassment of riches for us to choose from. No genre is off the table here, and with such classics as Casablanca, Psycho, 12 Angry Men and Plan 9 From Outer Space we have plenty to ponder for our top 10s. Black and White films haven't gone away, so more recent films such as Raging Bull, Schindler's List, Ed Wood and The Artist are all contemplated.Along with the normal categories we discuss our favourite Directors, Actors, Actresses and Lines from films, of which there are plenty. Also the iconic moments, such as the light on Harry Lime in The Third Man, the twist in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane and fighting in the War Room from Dr Strangelove are discussed.As usual we stray off topic at numerous times, talking about Harrison Ford trilogy rankings, characters that derail films, James Bond Bingo and unexpected compliments from fast food delivery drivers.If you haven't watched many black & white films before then we hope that we have given you some ideas, but if you don't want to we're not that upset.
