What’s your favorite black and white movie you would recommend?

The Outlaw (1943)

In his book "Hollywood," Garson Kanin wrote that one day in New York, he and George S. Kaufman were walking down Broadway and counted five billboards with an alluring picture of Jane Russell advertising this film, prompting Kaufman to remark: "They ought to call it 'A Sale of Two Titties.'"

Young Frankenstein is in black and white but an old movie is Harvey!
Harvey starring James Stewart as a friendly eccentric who's family wants him committed because his best friend is a 6' tall invisible rabbit named Harvey. It's very funny. And I won't spoil the ending. One of my favorite movies.

@JonLosAngeles66 Harvey is fabulous. An overlooked great, and very funny, is Arsenic and Old Lace. There are lots of very well known B&W movies, picking out the overlooked or forgotten ones is the advice we're all looking for.

@NativePortlander1970 Very funny, but not B&W though.
@22Michelle i think he was just referencing the fact that it was another steve martin film...in a way it was a b&w film as navin was white and his family was black 🙂
@beermeplease

The scene where Steve Martin (dressed as Ma Jarrett) kisses Rachel Ward in front of the jail guards gets me roaring with laughter every time.

@4thdimensiondream I actually watched for Jennifer Connelly, she is about 7 or 8 months younger than me 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@NativePortlander1970 I’m a fan too. Ever see Requiem for a Dream. Tremendously depressing but phenomenal acting by her and Leto. It takes place in my old stomping grounds so was extra special for me,
@4thdimensiondream I missed it
