Can anyone recommend some good black and white films? I've been watching a lot of the old universal monsters movies and errol flyn movies but I'm looking for other recommendations.

Anything really, I was thinking about Jimmy Stuart and James Cagney movies, I like some of the earlier gangster movies, did you know that in some of them they used live ammunition in the weapons? I think that adds something to the viewing.

Not entirely black and white but American History X is a very good film.

Harvey and Arsenic and Old Lace are two of my favorite movies and are black and white. Both are comedies that are a little dark.

YouTube has full movies, why you post trailers only?

I love those last two recommends, I love Last Man and Twelve Angry men, two of my favourite films. I like the one with James Stewart in which he is a teacher who has taught evolution in a Christian state, it sort of tells the tale like its a done deal that debate.

I'm thinking about getting an Amazon Kindle Fire for Christmas and I'm going to get these movies then too.

Most of the black & white Alfred Hitchcock movies are good. Rebecca, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Strangers on a Train, etc.
