Name your classic black & white films

My classic ones are...

The Haunting
Great film which used atmosphere to scare you with no gore.

The Third Man
Made good use of post war back drop.

The Spy Who Came In From The Cold
In my view, Richard Burton's best film he ever made.

The Longest Day
Well we all know that one is a classic.

 

Wake Island
Sands of Iwo Jima
Battleground
Flying Leathernecks
Run Silent Run Deep
Guadalcanal Diary
They Were Expendable
Fighting Sea Bees

The Longest Day and Schindler's List are my favorites, although I've seen a great deal many others that I can't think of right now.

 

They Were Expendable - One of my Favorites

12 O'Clock High - Love this one too

In Harm's Way & From Here to Eternity - a little war/ a little love interest

The Canterville ghost with Charles Laughton brilliant and one of my earliest memories of a b&W

 

I love that movie!!! I wish the Powers-that-be who are in charge of getting these films released in regions 1 and or --would get this masterpiece released on DvD here-soI can enjoy Chas Laughton and Robert Young. It's my favorite Laughton title-just after Mutiny on the Bounty w/ Clark Gable & Franchot Tone.

 

Hey Carl with all the films you seen over the years just wondering whens Carl's film book coming out?

 

How could I forget this one...

The Day the Earth Stood Still.

 

night of the living dead
scared me for weeks

 

Another one I really liked was Zanuck's "The Grapes of Wrath." He was a pretty good producer, although he was kind of a Napoleon to his crew.

 

I'll make sure it is published as soon as I get an autographed copy of your book exposing the political correctness croud that is ruining the UK as well as the USA. I want ten signed copies so that my Bro-in-Law, Sister my two older Bros and my three Nephews & their Spouses-would get a kick out of reading it :lol: :lol:

 

Also Directed by the great Westerns master--John Ford.
