How many black & white films have you seen in the past year?

Harakiri (1962) - Fantastic. Maybe not the most enjoyable film I've seen, but definitely the highest-quality

Dr Strangelove (1960) - My new favourite comedy. Watched it 3 times in a row.

Mad Max: Black and Chrome (2017) - It was very good, but I think only because i saw it in the cinema. It feels like it would be pretty mediocre on a small screen.

like 60

Mad Max: Black and Chrome was quite nice.

Hey OP, cool thread. Turns out I actually have the data for that, so I can list all the black and white movies my wife and I watched in the last 4 years.

>2017
Cavalcade
It Happened One Night

>2016
Dracula (1931)

>2015
The Broadway Melody
All Quiet on the Western Front
Vivacious Lady
Cimarron
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (fucking fantastic)
Grand Hotel

It's a Wonderful Life

>2014
Wings (1927)
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans

>2013
None

>>83189462
What the fuck is this question even?
Do you keep count when you watch a b&w movie? Are you one of those dudes that is super proud if he manages to watch a foreign film? I don't get it really.

But if it's just a b&w thread then the last b&w film I watched was probably The Man Who Sleeps, or Polytechnique.
I recommend both.

>>83190945
Which Nosferatu?

Paths of Glory (great fucking movie)
Where Eagles Dare (Also very good, that resolution on the plane was fantastic imo)
Roshomon (dunno if this year or last)
A bolivian 40's movie spoken in the native language of the protags tribe (more interesting than good really)
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (with my now ex gf

As a rec I put forth the Colin's movie The Man Who Wasn't There
The Gabinet of Dr Caligary (

>>83191173
The 1922 version

>>83190758

>>83191597
>Where Eagles Dare
This is a colour film.

>>83192293
>exposing yourself to films you haven't seen = bad tase

>>83192293
Well, the only film I offered my "taste" on was Dr. Caligari, which I loved. Other than that, those are just the black and white films we watched at home. I didn't say what we thought of any of the other ones.

>>83189462
1 dr strangelove

>>83192400
>>83192475

Kek. You have your name on.

>implying it's not possible to tell your taste from the movies you have watched

Why are you even keeping track? There is not one worthwhiole B&W film on that list.

Again, 17 year olds have better taste than you, and they are not even allowed here.

Clerks

>>83192533

>>83192533
Yeah, I had two separate thoughts and replied to you twice. Also that was from a thread I made the other day, thanks for pointing that out.

Again:
>merely deciding to watch films you haven't seen means you have bad taste

>>83192533
That post was not me.

>>83189462
Nosferatu and a few Chaplin shorts.

>>83189462
Just one. Seven Samurai.

>>83189462
27. Last one was Arsenic and Old Lace.

I don't really keep track of that shit but I watched On the Waterfront last night, shit was based.

I also recently watched The White Ribbon (which was really good) and A Field in England, which I don't remember very well cuz I was high as fuck. It was pretty trippy though

Logan. It really is amazing how they turned it into a noir by making it black and white. They should make The Dark Knight into a black and white noir and release that too. It's also a great way of seeing how they stack up against old black and white noir films like Casablanca. It makes it easier to compare the two but I realized that Logan was so much better which is why I want to see The Dark Knight made into a noir.

I watch B&W movies all the time. Last one was the Childrens Hour (1961).

A movie being black-and-white doesn't turn someone into noir.

>>83194716

>>83189462
does Mist count if I change filters settings in vlc so it would be in Black and white?

Dr. Strangelove
>A lot better than I remember it when I watched it a decade ago. Pretty high on my favorite movie's list.
Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans
>Saw someone on here recommend it and it's pretty good. Not my favorite silent movie but it's got a nice simple plot and is pretty heartwarming.
Cranes Are Flying
>Fucking amazing movie. I didn't only just watch it this year but it's one of my favorite movies and I rewatch it every now and then.
The Elephant Man
>Pretty weird after watching Lynch's other movies in that it isn't that weird of a movie. Didn't really expect it to be but it was fine. Not something I'd watch again anytime soon.
The Trial
>Decided to watch coming off of my Lynch marathon since it involves dreaming/dream logic as well. Pretty good movie. I'll have to rewatch Citizen Kane at some point because I don't remember liking it that much but it's been a while since I saw it.
Persona
>Not at all what I was expecting. Not sure I even got what I was supposed to get out of the movie. Has the whole dream logic thing going on too though but this is one I'm going to have to rewatch and pay closer attention. Need to check out Bergman's other movies too as I've only seen the Seventh Seal.

Quite a few, I miss having TCM.

Last one was the Maltese Falcon

>>83189462
The Big Sleep, Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Clerks, Pi, The Maltese Falcon, Sunset Boulevard, Laura, Un Chien Andelou, and probably a few others I'm forgetting.

>>83204623
The one's I forgot and just remembered:

Double Indemnity, All About Eve, Dr. Strangelove, Citizen Cane, The Lady From Shanghai, The Third Man (yeah I forgot all the Orson Welles somehow).

To Kill a Mockingbird
Rebecca
Double Indemnity
The Wages of Fear
Clerks
Polytechnique

That's the ones I've seen this year, which is 7 out of 99.

Also fantastic. One of my new favorites for sure.

its was ok i guess. Dont know why this one was black and white when the film its following up wasnt.
>Eraserhead
only watched it the one time, it was pretty good. Need to watch it again though
>Hamlet (Laurence Olivier version)
Kenneth Branagh did it better

Too many to count. Many, many old movies (when I can chose between b&w and clored version, I always chose b&w, coloring a shit) and a few modern ones.

Modern:
Frances Ha
AGWHAAN
Coffee and Cigaretes
Blancanieves
Keyhole

Older:
The Cat People
Curse of the Cat People
Sparrows
The Red House
Bringing Up Baby
Topper Returns
Suspicion
Stage Door
Algiers
Gunga Din
The Return of Chandu (that's a serial, but whatever)
Zorro's Black Whip (serial again)
White Zombie

So many more, but I can't recall them on the top of my head.

>>83189462
Absolutely none

>>83208249

He didn't specify old. He only said black and white.

>>83208491
>tfw the Black Whip will never tie you up with her whip and make you her hairy pusy slave

>>83208249

They're still making black and white films, you autist.

Nebraska (2013). An Alexander Payne film, which is all you really need to know. If you like his work, check it out. If not, avoid like the plague.

Tetsuo: The Iron Man (1989). Eraserhead made by the Japanese, on crack. Spectacular shoestring budget effects and extremely bizarre story/themes. Recommended if you can stomach the strange and grotesque.

I also saw a few Val Lewton produced films. He did a few of the films >>83208491 mentioned. I saw Youth Runs Wild (1944), nice little coming of age movie, and Ghost Ship (1943), which wasn't actually about ghosts at all, and features a great performance by Richard Dix.

I also watched the black and white version of The Mist (2007) if that counts. I don't know if it made a huge difference in my estimation but it was a good excuse to watch a great horror film again.

>>83206998

List them now please.

>>83208522
>>83208620
it was strongly implied from the classic fox logo

but the point is, categorizing movies into something as arbitrary as "black and white" is retarded as fuck. it's like asking how many color movies you've seen.

it sounds like he thinks watching a black and white film is something out of the ordinary for him -- which it is, because he has had limited exposure to film.

At the moment, I don't think colour film is anything more than a commercial gimmick. I don't know a single film that uses colour well. In any colour film the graphics impinge on one's perception of the events. In everyday life we seldom pay any special attention to colour. When we watch something going on we don't notice colour. A black-and-white film immediately creates the impression that your attention is concentrated on what is most important. On the screen colour imposes itself on you, whereas in real life that only happens at odd moments, so it's not right for the audience to be constantly aware of colour. Isolated details can be in colour if that is what corresponds to the state of the character on the screen. In real life the line that separates unawareness of colour from the moment when you start to notice it is quite imperceptible. Our unbroken, evenly paced flow of attention will suddenly be concentrated on some specific detail. A similar effect is achieved in a film when coloured shots are inserted into black-and-white.
