Stevo985 Posted November 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't think i've ever seen a black & white film either Oh man, you are missing out on sooooo many classics (old and new). The Artist, Control, Schindler's List, American History X, Persepolis (does that count?). Just a few "modern" black and white films that spring to mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingram85 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I don't think i've ever seen a black & white film either, i guess this film might be? There's loads you're missing out on but I would at least give Raging Bull or The Hustler a watch. They would appeal to anyone with a passing interest in sport. Anyone who hasn't watched Young Frankenstein is a person not worth knowing. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 20, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 20, 2013 Just got back from 'Gravity' (3D). Well, it's all about the SFX, but wow, pretty impressive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 'La Haine' is black & white, and foreign. Two birds, one stone. And it's **** brilliant. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I thought WWZed was decent enough. The Jerusalem bit is excellent. That was the point at which I stopped watching Bah! I bet you don't even like the Beatles. I took the kids to see cloudy with Meatballs on Sunday ... Early on there is a Macca track in the film ... I just pictured Bicks in my head screaming "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" and walking out of the film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
