They just seem suited for a rainy Sunday afternoon, cup of tea and a biscuit...or two. Mine is All About Eve, a classic. I just wondered what other peoples were?

    Another vote here for "12 Angry Men".When i was younger i liked "Whistle Down the Wind".I haven't seen the film in years.I also like the old comedy films with Laurel & Hardy,Will Hay & Abbott & Costello.

    I'm pretty sure "The Birds" wasn't a b/w film

    the Women (1939) with Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell. A very witty classic.

    Bette Davis , Henry Fonda in "Jezebel" also from 1939. Who can deny this classic. The old south during the civil war. The red dress scene. Preston marrying a yankee and yellowjack fever ravishing New Orleans.

    I'm a keen photographer and love black and white. Here are a few of my favourites:

    Citizen Kane and The Grapes of Wrath (both photographed by Greg Toland)

    The Third Man

    Paths of Glory

    The Manchurian Candidate

    Young Frankenstein

    and although it was shot in colour - I prefer to watch The Ipcress File in black and white, it seems to suit the film much better.

    The Big Job

    Hilarious crime caper starring Sid James. Think the only B&W film I've bought on DVD.

    Does Wizard of Oz count? If so, it's first, if not, then it's a wonderful life.
