Films vary. Colour or B&W.

Witness for the Prosecution (1957). Great performance from Charles Laughton.

Incidentally, Dora Brien plays a small role as a teenager waitress in my recommended film.

Hobson's Choice (1954) another masterpiece starring Charles Laughton.

The Artist was very good. But a black and white film about Van Gogh, say, would be disappointing. And I thought the way They Shall Not Grow Old, about World War 1, was brilliant when grainy old b/w footage suddenly exploded into colour and full screen; it really brought the men to life again.

I've never watched a black and white film, that I can remember. I assume they will be old-fashioned, so it puts me off.

My goodness pixie, really? So you've never watched Bette Davis in Now Voyager or All About Eve? You're definitely missing out, masterpieces.

These youngsters eh? It's all about being fashionable and not quality acting. ;-)

I liked Laurel and Hardy, and Harold Lloyd, as a child. If that helps?

We like Talking Pictures on Freeview 81. Some great classic films and old TV shows like Van Der Valk, Callan etc

The Wizard of Oz was a masterpiece. B&W to colour then back again.

I watched 12 Angry Men a few years ago as someone recommended it and it was brilliant.
