Jordan Phillips
Paths of Glory
Easton Allen
Here's a suggestion for you
Nathaniel Russell
this
its a nice starter
Austin Diaz
I'm like OP. Never watched b&w. What are one of those old detective movies where all the cliches come from?
Nathan Baker
My favourite black and white film is Fixed Bayonets. It has a great character story.
Brayden Johnson
Psycho. Then Repulsion. Then Night Of The Living Dead.
Kevin Thompson

Chase Butler
With the greeks.

This has to be the worst film discussion board on the entire internet outside of a fucking Harry Potter forum or something

Classic westerns are a good start. Then try Kurosawa.
Zachary Nguyen

Start with Griffith:

Caleb Evans
Double Indemnity
Jordan Nelson
If you like war films then it HAS to be The Longest Day.
I too was put off by b&w films until I watched this, It is literally the greatest epic of all time, pretty much every single star of the time was in this one movie, the scope of this movie was so large that it required three different directors to make it.
Evan Morris
user, the is the best movie you will ever see. The last scene is fucking amazing, you will never forget it.
The Criterion BD is over $100.
Owen Myers
Why do you act as if the lack of color was a great deal? I've watched hundreds of them without even noticing i only cared about the movie being good and its genre
dumbass capeshitter millennial manbaby
Brayden Reyes
I mean it's good but it's like the 3rd or 4th best war film Fuller directed.
Aiden Foster
meant for
Joshua Bailey
lol grow up
It's just movies
Adam Perry
Sin City and Sin City 2
Tyler Miller
Why is the criterion BD so expensive? Out of print?
In any case, OP LISTEN TO THAT user, Third Man is LITERALLY a 10/10 kino
Elijah Gutierrez
How'd I do at the thrift shop today anons? 10 for $5, I got a bunch of BDs and this stuff that I am really looking for.
The Agony and the Ecstasy (1965)
The Pirate (1948)
Ziegfeld Girl (1941)
Wuthering Heights (1939)
Ayden Hill
I watch a lot of old films and honestly I've started appreciating color. Which is why classic color films are particularly great, like old 3-strip Technicolor kinos, or that one color "Road to..." movie, or the two color Abbot and Costello films.
Cameron Brown
literally just watch the movie you posted OP then maybe the original Scarface
Justin Wright
It's weird. In 2007 Yas Forums had a shitton of traffic and Yas Forums was only mildly popular.
In 2020 Yas Forums is basically dead and Yas Forums is almost as fast as Yas Forums. So many people post shit that belongs on Yas Forums and I don't get why they aren't just using Yas Forums.
Brandon Russell
Maltese Falcon is so fucking comfy and kino. A perfect 10/10.
Charles Baker
What is it? I got it from google images
Gabriel Lewis
12 Angry Men. One of those movies that feel super relevant and also makes you appreciate the lack of color.
Adrian Adams
Stagecoach perhaps
Stagecoach is kino, and I say that even though I usually don't care for westerns.
Christopher Moore
based
Kevin Carter
Fun fact 12 angry Men was adapted from a teleplay which was staged live. First instance in history that a film was based on something off of tv.
Caleb Sanchez
Yas Forums is a coomer board now for horny 12 year olds. No one with a brain actually goes there any more
Aiden Foster
>Yas Forums is a coomer board now
>Now
Also how is Yas Forums not a coomer board with all the porn and blacked webm threads that get spammed here everyday?
Caleb Perez
>tfw I got to know old Yas Forums
good times
William Myers
The stunt work in this is fucking crazy.
Asher Wright
The Public Enemy, Angels with Dirty Faces, and White Heat starring James Cagney
Adrian Young
TWELVE B&W ENGLISH-LANGUAGE MUST-SEES
---------------------------------------------------------------------
>The General (1926)
Best moment: when his girlfriend is throwing the wood in the train's furnace and carefully selecting the nicest pieces and he throws in one about the size of a matchbox to mock her and she goes along with the joke.
>City Lights (1931)
Keaton or Chaplin? Either way, these are the two best English-language silents.
>Citizen Kane (1941)
"A white dress she had on, and she was carrying a white parasol."
>Casablanca (1942)
Yes, it's corny, but.
>The Treasure Of The Sierra Madre (1948)
Better than Greed, because it's not fifteen hours long and it's not 3/4 missing.
>The Third Man (1949)
"Victims? Don't be melodramatic. Tell me: would you really feel any pity if one of those dots stopped moving forever?"
>High Noon (1952)
No-one does beleaguered like Gary Cooper. And a 22-y-o Grace Kelly is the most beautiful object ever photographed.
>Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
"I'd hate to take a bite out of you. You're a cookie full of arsenic."
>Paths of Glory (1957)
The girl at the end thought she'd got a movie role and found she'd got a life role.
>Psycho (1960)
Doesn't try to be profound, just says BOO! Ignore Vertigofags; this is Hitchcock's best.
>Manhattan (1979)
I yield to no man in my hatred for Woody Allen, but I'm still recommending you watch this.
>Ed Wood (1994)
J. Depp is so darned likeable. Plus Bill Murray gets to say "Goodbye, penis!"
Nicholas Gutierrez
OP here
Can you guys stop reccing so many movies? It's overwhelming.
Easton Cox
Over half the threads on Yas Forums are guys posting their dicks. It's an unironic containment board now.
Carson Williams
Classic slapstick of course

Ayden Murphy
I'll raise you.
Ryan Williams
No.
Dylan Thomas
Definitely check out Seventh Seal and M at least.
Oliver Morris
Brandon Myers
Fun fact, Jimmy Stewart was a 1 star general and only retired after the strategic focus of the US Air Force shifted from carpet bombing.
Bentley Gonzalez
Young Frankenstein is probably gonna be the easiest to watch, if its your first
Hudson Russell
what fuckign year do you have to be born in to have never watched a black-and-white movie? Not even tv shows like the Twighlight Zone?
Luis Edwards
Pretty sure The Twilight Zone doesn't really play on TV in Europe
Benjamin Rivera
Watch Billy Wilder's "The Apartment". Absolutely charming, old-school romance. Paths of Glory for rage kino. Then check some Kurosawa - 7 Samurai, Kagemusha and Rashomon. Plan 9 From Outer Space is arguably the best science-fiction film ever made (don't bother with Metropolis). If you're interested in film history at all, then watch Battleship Potemkin. The editing is still relevant today even though the film came out 100 years ago, which, I think, is genuinely interesting.
John Cook
Europe doesn't even matter when Americans aren't visiting it
Kevin Murphy
call others reddit all you want you pathetic tryhard newfag but Fatty Arbuckle is based af

Prices are nuts man, I really want this for my collection too,
I bought the orhe other BD for $15 or so, I mighr buy the Criterion DVD just for the case and the extras.
David Ross
more great jimmy stewart

Nathaniel Roberts
I have the criterion DVD of the third man. The commentary is really insightful. Wouldn't bother buying an expensive blu ray of it, since the DVD has enough quality for this.
