[sampa]

Does anyone have suggestions for movies to watch that are black and white classics? It's kind of one of those things in the back of my head of to do eventually.
Thanks, In Christ, Sampa

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" cheesy, but fun to watch.

"Miracle on 34th Street"

"To Kill a Mockingbird" my favorite- great book, too.

"The Day the World Ended" kind of cheesy, but interesting too.

[WannaWitness]

Try Laurel & Hardy and Our Gang comedies.

Shirley Temple is another favorite of mine.

Charlie Chaplin has some good ones out, too, like "The Kid" and "Modern Times".

 

[WannaWitness]

These are not black and white, but they're from the '60s, so they could qualify as "old movies".

"The Nutty Professor" (Jerry Lewis)
"The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band" (with Buddy Ebsen and Walter Brennan)

Adam's Rib

Oh, I second Twelve Angry Men. I can't believe I forgot that one -- it's amazing.

Having older parents and spending a lot of time with my aunts and uncles, I grew up watching quite a few older movies.
