My two favourite films (never mind favourite B+W films) would be "Casablanca" and "Seven Samurai". (Which one comes first varies continually depending on mood and situation.)
"12 Angry Men", "Brief Encounter" and "Dr Strangelove" would all be high up there too...

Brilliant....Any of those angry young men...sixties movies
I used to love The Edgar Wallace Mysteries, I wish a channel would repeat them.
Reach for the Sky - film about Douglas Bader
A remember watching a film when I was fairly young and it scared me.
Think it was called the black widow. She turned into a big spidar.

I was just going to say Bette Davis - one that sticks in the mind is the one where she was going blind and she asked the nurse what 'prognosis negative' meant....
That was Dark Victory

Had to laugh my daughter bought the complete collection of laurel and hardy for her dad.

Some years ago, I was amazed to discover how most of friends had never seen many of my favourite "classic" films, so I started an education campaign. "Casablanca" and "12 Angry Men" have been the most successful so far. I'm also really proud to have turned one friend into a major Jacques Tati fan (although the first film he saw was "Mon Oncle", which is actually in colour...)

Just remembered another one that should have been on my list: "Les Diaboliques".
One of my favourite French films, and one of the greatest "twist" endings ever.
Don't even think of watching the Hollywood remake...
