Favorite black-white movies? (lol)

[PlayOn]

a few people got confused with my other post where i asked Bruce Willis (i said BW and people thought it meant black and white) so it thought why not make a thread of black and white movies (after reading somebody's reply)? what are your favorites?
i seldom watch b/w movies.

The greatest movie ever made IMHO (also featuring my all-time fave actor, Bogart), i like Cassablanca, but, I love this film-noir about a handful of buddies who go prospecting together, find a rich cache of gold and slowly turn on each other, when feelings of greed and paranoia set in

Buster Keaton did his own stunts, and was nearly killed filming one scene, in what is the greatest silent comedy ever made. Buster stars as a southern engineer, who's train , the General, is stolen by northern soldiers during the Civil war and who steals another train to get it back.....it features one of the most compelling and longest "chase" scenes in the history of cinema. (its based on a true story)

"I'm ready for my closeup, mr Demille!!!" is the most famous line from this psychological thriller about a former silent film star who longs to make a comeback on the Silver screen, with the help of a young giggilo/writer who winds up drowned in her swimming pool, for his efforts.

Love that cow.

Yes the animation is wonky, KK goes from 50 to 100 feet high depending on the scene, the story is corny, but........This film has stood the test of time as a watershed in the genre! (I never watched the remake last year, dont NEED to!)

My fave film from my fave silent movie comedian, Harold Lloyd; Harold plays a cab driver who is recruited to run a trolley for the night for the ailing father of the woman he loves (from afar); a rival company has sent thugs to try and close them down, by whatever means necessary ;(If the trolley doesnt complete its rounds, then the old man would have to forfeit his trolley license)...or course, Harold dispatches the bad guys (As you can see from the pic......He did all his own stunts, btw)) and wins the girl!

(that's my top 5.....ill post the rest of my top 10 later!)

I love KING KONG too. My daughter bought me the DVD. It is the restored version with the scenes that have been deleted for television. I love it that way.
