Too numerous, but here are a few more off the top of my head:
"Billy Budd"
"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb"
"To Kill A Mockingbird"
"High Noon"
"The Asphalt Jungle"

Glad to see no one's nominating Prince's Under the Cherry Moon.

I enjoyed Lost Horizon and The Most Dangerous Game, both from the 1930's, but only saw them once.

pretty pretty good, maybe great. I think it will hold up over time.

circa 2011
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

The original B&W version of House on Haunted Hill is fun.

This link should jump to 24:14 into the movie. Watch for a couple minutes from that point. That was my favorite part of the movie when I was young.

Without a doubt its film noir classic The Big Sleep. Bogart at
his absolute best. Follows the Raymond Chandler book almost
word for word. I bet I've seen it 15 times at least.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

The only one I can think of is the Wizard of Oz and don't know of any others. The only B&W I know are old TV shows from Nick at Night and Gilligan's Island. Loved them all and would still watch them all night if they still ran like the late 80s and early 90s. I loved the innocence of all those shows.
