MacLovin Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Y'know, I do watch quite a few of them, and was wondering if there is anyone else on here that partakes in this. B-Movies FTW. I kinda enjoyed those old B-Movies, like the Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Alear Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Ya Metropolis is good. There are other good ones. I'm pretty sure that Maltese Falcon is good. Dunno really about Thin Man. Probably could be though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Metropolis by Fritz Lang is definitely a film I'd recommend. Then there's the original Scarface film. My dad's more of an expert on this than I am though. Edited September 19, 2012 by Little Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 ...When I saw this thread, I thought you were talking about 5th gen Pokemon movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Alear Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) The Third Man. Ikiru. The Red and the White. 8 1/2. 12 Angry Men. Oh and it's not black and white, but in a slightly more general sense (classic films) I feel obliged to recommend Mccabe and Mrs. Miller. Also I like To Have and Have Not more than Casablanca. Dr Strangelove and Failsafe are actually both great. (Probably Battleship Potemkin) Edited September 19, 2012 by L1049 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 (edited) To Have and Have Not is badass. Ive seen more ancient films than i can even recall. Just about every film especially horror made before 1970 is damn awesome. old B-Movies, like the Thin Man and The Maltese Falcon. B-Movies, like The Maltese Falcon. Yeah no, those were never B-movies. Earth Vs The Spider? Yeah thats a B-movie. Academy Award winning old film? NOT SO MUCH!

Caliban of Sycorax Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 I think he means Black and White movies. My favorite is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?. An immaculate performance from Taylor and Burton from start to finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Life Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 12 Angry Men. You have just won the interwebz. Fantastic movie. Also enjoyed To Kill A Mockingbird. And A Streetcar Named Desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenkiforecast Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 The only black and white movies I have watched are 12 Angry Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, Young Frankenstein and Casablanca. The former two were in school. All of them were well-acted, high quality movies. I'm just not much of a moviegoer, so my exposure is extremely limited. And of course, one of the four is not like the other. =D As for black and white in general... you know, back before color TV was mass-produced and color cinemas were everywhere, black and white was necessary. Afterwards, it's a stylistic choice. Young Frankenstein uses it to make the movie look 'older' or to try to match the general setting of the era. At least at the most basic level, it's a parody. I don't have anything else to add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted September 22, 2012 Author Share Posted September 22, 2012 No mention of John Wayne? I am sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Dr Strangelove Big family favorite here. I'm lucky I got to see 12 Angry Men in law class, it had a great slowly intensifying setup I don't feel like I've seen matched anywhere else. Also 3 Stooges and Laurel/Hardy were minor childhood cornerstones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I don't play for turns Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 You know you need to play Pokemon less when you see a thread with this title and assume it's about movies shown in Pokemon black and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Laufeyson Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 One of my favorites is Freaks. That movie kicks ass, has an interesting message and all the people starring it are actually...as they are. Very little if any makeup and stuff used. Ive seen probably every Bette Davis movie ever. My favorite John Wayne movie isnt black and white but its a great one. Hatari! Such a fun safari movie with Sofia Lauren! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caliban of Sycorax Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Ive seen probably every Bette Davis movie ever. Bette Davis is amazing. I LOVE her in All About Eve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
