Watched "Casablanca" last night - because it's next up for our film-discussion group @ work; we picked it because one of the younger members of the group said she had never seen a movie in black-and-white. Amazing! So many great movies in b/w, so, for Nicole and her cohort, here, in no particular order, is a list of 12 great American movies in b/w that everyone of every age ought to see. Seeing these would be a quick course in American life, art, movies, culture, and would be lots of fun:
Casablanca
It's a Wonderful Life
Psycho
High Noon
Citizen Kane
Manhattan
Mean Streets
Duck Soup
His Girl Friday (The Front Page)
Some Like it Hot
Night of the Hunter
A Streetcar Named Desire
Other suggestions?
And this is American films only. In a future post, I'll suggest films from Europe and Asia.
