Lately I have been watching a lot of black and white movies. It is always so amazing to see what they did without all the technology we have today. My favorite to this day is the Manchurian Candidate. Don't get me wrong, the new one is okay, I just like the old one and every time it comes on, I have to watch it. I never liked Citizen Cain though. No offence to those who do, the answer is Rosebud. There spoiler alert. Please share your favorite movie here, black or white, does not matter.

Citizen Kane will have my vote. Every shot in that movie can be framed as art. I am going to a 75th anniversary showing at one of those old restored movie palaces.

That is true about Citizen Kane. Thanks for the catch. Tells you how much I remember the movie. I had to watch it for knowledgebowl one year. Thanks for the comment and the catch on the spelling Dalane.

When I was a child I always watched the Shirley Temple movies and they are on TV occasionally still in black and white.

I don't watch many black and white movies, but I really like The Rome Holiday. In fact many Chinese also like this movie. Besides it, I also like The Diary of Anne Frank. Of course I watched the new version movie, but I still think the old version is better. I feel moved to it.

@Aingeal In fact it also surprises me that I will have a high rating for these two black and white movies. As you know, today the movies have spent a big budget for the special effects and in the past the movies didn't have any special effects but it really could movie your heart.

The Rome Holiday is very good. I have seen this a few times. I have not seen the Diary of Anne Frank, have read it though. Thanks for your comments Youless.

"The Women," (1939) is a great one with Rosalind Russell, Joan Crawford and other great actresses is a great one.

I'm not sure if these are your types of movies, but I love Some Like it Hot with Marilyn Monroe (hilarious movie) and also the Audrey Hepburn flick Sabrina - more of a romantic drama, though. Some of those old movies are so great!

Oh I love those Maezee. Those are so great. The whole thing is, when I am watching them, I always am surprised at what they were able to do compared to now without all the technology.

Marilyn, I never got into Shirley Temple. Not sure why. I know she was a cute actress in her time and also a great person. May she always be remembered. Thanks for your input.
