So I'm watching the black&white version of Jane Erye with a very young Orson Wells and all I can say is WOW I get all the fuss over him now. The movie was quite riveting though I've never read the book, and I'm sure Mr Wells was a bit over dramatic, I will watch it again and I have the book lined up to read soon too. Not sure if men would get all that a woman would get from this but it's still a great concept of the oppressed orphanage era.
Not my favorite but up there so I got this new topic idea 😆
This will help me get to know other movies that I should check out or get another prospective on one's I've seen😊
As for color I'll say 'Overboard'! Staying with something recently seen. I love Goldie and Kurt's chemistry in this film, I must have seen it at the least a hundred times! A must see! I even think u guys will get a great laugh or 50 out of it too.

I haven't watched any black and white movies, but my daughter (who is 2) will sit with her grandparents and watch them without a problem lol.
-
Sargent York is one of my most favorite black and white films. I love watching Gary Cooper in his movies.
-
Sidney Portier's A Patch of Blue and pretty much all of Jerry Lewis movies are my favorite black/white/color movies.
-
I'll just toss in probably two of my favorite movies of all time. B/W Harvey with Jimmy Stewart; color Diner with a young ensemble of Tim Daly, Steve Guttenberg, Daniel Stern, Kevin Bacon, Mickey Rourke, and Paul Resier.
Both are classics and five stars out of five!

I love a black and white version of Sabrina, much more than the Harrison Ford one, yep I said it. I like him better in action like Star Wars and Indy Jones flicks.
Color, hmm. ..I loved Lost Boys, best vampire flick as far as I can tell too lol. I gonna have to list many more once I have the time.
-
Gone with the Wind is my favorite black and white film. A close second is I Want to Live with Susan Haywood. I love all her old movies.
-
Whatever Happened to Baby Jane for black and white. For colour? Too many to name.

My favorite black and white was an oldie called "Seventh Heaven" staring Jimmy Stewart. He was only in his early 20s then. I watched it every time it was on.
I also loved the black and white versions of "It's A Wonderful Life," Miracle on 34th Street." and the original version of "A Christmas Carol" with Alistair Sims. I still watch the first 2 every year at Christmas.
As for color, I love "Goodfellas," any Al Pacino, Harrison Ford (except Star Wars), and Robert De Niro films.
-
I just remembered a great one with Myrna Loy, Spencer Tracy and Clark Gable called 'Test Pilot'. That old story about 2 men/best friends in love with the same woman but I loved it none the less lol I'm so easy sometimes hahaha
In color I'm going to say recently I saw a very heart gripping story with Drew Barrymore called 'Miss You Already', a great friendship story that might bring a few tears. Well worth the watch!

I like them in color flick

I love a wonderful black & white called Gigi. Starring Leslie Caron and Maurice Chevalier. Ms. Caron also had another favorite called Lili about a circus. Also Mr. Chevalier made famous the song Thank Heaven For Little Girls in this movie. The movie is about old school teaching of a woman's etiquettes and the volunteering changes of a man in love. Cute 😆
I'm working on the Star Wars Series and of course I started with what is known as episode 4, lol, but it is what I started with back in 1977. I can't believe it has been so long since the 1st time I seen this lol. Also I find it incredibly funny that I didn't catch Jams Earl Jones' voice after watching them all but I will say after seeing him in so many movies I've gotten to know his voice more and find it more recognizable.
