I'll admit, I love the old black and white movies. There's something so glamorous about them.
I think my favorite is Jezebel with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda. Second favorite is a comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace.

Some of them. Some of them are just more powerful in b&w. Twelve Angry Men comes to mind...just wouldn't be the same film in color. To Kill a Mockingbird is another.

Love 'em. The women look so beautiful in black and white.

I love, love, love old B&W movies; I've even been able to get my 20-something son-in-law interested in watching them. DGD Anya spent the summer volunteering at the Egyptian Theatre in her town, and now she's becoming a fan also.
Nothing beats a B&W mystery for suspense.

Love them. I used to watch the old black and whites with my Mom when I was growing up.

Of course! Hitchcock's black and whites were stunning, Bette Davis, Carole Lombard, Cary Grant, Jimmy Stewart, I could go on and on. The Thin Man series is great too, not just the stories, but the clothes. Women who had money in the 40's knew how to dress!!!

No I'm not really interested in old movies. Although I did love To Kill a Mockingbird.

No, I lose interest immediately when I see something done in black and white.

AND black and white TV shows! Andy Griffith, first 5 years in b&w, last 3 in color. I'm watching Petticoat Junction right now, Season 2, I have Season 3 ready to go, I think it is color. I really like watching old 50's TV shows. Especially since they are all new to me. I have a DVD of some shows Betty White did when her hair was dark!  |

Second favorite is a comedy, Arsenic and Old Lace. I love Arsenic and Old Lace! TCM had Cary Grant a few weeks ago, and I watched His Girl Friday, Philadelphia Story and Arsenic and Old Lace back to back. 3 of my all-time favorites. But Casablanca is absolute #1 in my book. I love the classics. When I work or scrap at home, that's always on. |

I love them. I grew up watching them with my mom.
My favorites are Laura, the Ghost and Mrs Muir, Arsenic and Old Lace and what might be my favorite, The Women (1939).

Not really. And admitting that makes me feel uncultured, or something.

Another Arsenic and Old Lace fan here. Penny Serenade is another one of my faves.

I love a good black and white movie. Old black and white film noir movies are so much fun, I love them. There are some old duds just like any period of entertainment but I wouldn't nix a movie because it wasn't in color or was too old.

not really. I get too distracted trying to figure out what color their clothes are or what the background really looks like.

Yep, I love old B&W movies. It Happened One Night and The Enchanted Cottage are my favorites. I also (in most cases) prefer black and white photos.

Love them, but we had a black and white tv until I was about 10 or 12. Everything was in black and white. I was shocked the first time I watched the Wizard of Oz and the color part come on.

Depends on the movie. If it's a great movie then yes. If it's a horrible movie then no. Being in B/W to me has nothing to do with it. To me a good movie is a good movie.
