I do not think so, yet anyway, but I am hopping for The Marx Bros. and It's A Wonderful Life by Christmas.

Nothing released that is ENTIRELY filmed in black & white. However, 'Casino Royale' starts in black & white. Also, there have been advertisements showing 'Sin City' "to be released", but without any dates.

Bought it as a BOGO but haven't gotten around to watching it yet, so I can't vouch for PQ. Excellent flick though.

[MOONPHASE]

[Terra4Gary]

In this Order:

1. Captain's Courageous

2. The D.I.

3. Fail-Safe

All great movies

good night and good luck as others have said. but everyone if forgetting 20 million miles to earth. which has a cool feature where you can switch back and forth between the original black and white and the approved colorized version. stop motion rules.

oh. and if it does ever come out. expect about 2,000,000,000 threads complaining about the grain.

"20 Million Miles to Earth" - I thought I read that on this blu there is the original black & white as well as a colorized version.

From Highdef Digets:

"Plot Synopsis: Special effects genius Ray Harryhausen (Jason and the Argonauts, Clash of the Titans)brings you one of his earliest groundbreaking films, now available for the first time in vibrant color! When an American spaceship crash-lands off the coast of Sicily, a rescue team discovers that the crew has brought back a gelatinous mass that soon hatches and evolves into a strange bi-ped creature which increases in size rapidly. Soon 20-feet tall, the creature rampages through Rome before being destroyed as it seeks refuge in the Colosseum."

look up it has both and you can switch back and forth using the angle button on the ps3 remote. its pretty cool. and the colorization is the best i have ever seen.

Would enjoy seeing Jean Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast" in Blu.

Jailhouse Rock has been out since last fall...

Oh---you're looking for good black & white movies.

I'm not sure if it's only Region B or not, but the Blu-Ray of Bergman's Seventh Seal is supposed to be very good. Dour Scandanavian dramas might not be to everyone's taste, but you'll at least get to see where that Death skit from Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey comes from!

Clerks was shot in 16mm B&W. This offers a lot more to work with than with a DV print like 28 Days Later

How about some horror classics? "Creature from the Black Lagoon" would be frikken awesome. The closest thing to a remake was "Creature". Looked like a Shark head on legs. Frikken stupid.

I know some people hate colorized movies, but I like it.
