- Help Me Out Here - B&W films

[mdonovan]

Hey ... I just watched Run Silent Run Deep, while not a perfect film, I found myself strangely fascinated with this film. I don't really know why. The Black and White was fantastic, Lancaster's performance is superb and subdued. Gable was pretty good as well.

Anyway ... If I had to put this film in a list of titles I feel the same about it would sort of be as as follows ...

1. Psycho
2. Stalag 17
3. 12 Angry Men
4. From Here to Eternity
5. The Manchurian Candidate
6. On the Waterfront
7. Notorious
6. Lifeboat
7. The Mist (B&W Tranfer)

All of these films are b&w script/performance driven films ... Can you guys offer suggestions along these line ... I probably have already seen them ... But if not I'll be psyched to give them a try. I left the film Noir a Classics off this list on purpose ... Kiss Me Deadly and the Killing for example , while fine films, have a different feel to them. I nearly did not include On The Waterfront for the same reasons ... But it's so damned good. :-)

Looking forward to your suggestions!
