I loved watching Laurel and Hardy on BBC2 after the kids programmes in the 80s.

Some old black and white films are fantastic. There was a brilliant one on Talking Pictures recently called Our Street. A slice of 60's life. I was glued. I also love old Bette Davies films, oh the glamour !

Any film with Charles Laughton in it.

... and all The Marx Brothers films.

A Night to Remember and the original Dunkirk ( John Mills and Mike Baldwin (( of corrie)) in B & W were far better offerings than Titanic and Dunkirk ( Colour) inmo.

Husband watches a lot of b&w films on Talking Pictures. They bore me to death.
I remember one in particular about a boy who got locked in a bank vault and the people were spending more time looking for mathematicians who could work out how much oxygen he had left than men who could bash the walls in and get him out.

The rest just seem to be people smoking and walking in and out of offices.

I like old black and white films, they have good ones on Talking Pictures.

ummmm: "I've never seen anything on TTT's list either." - why doesn't that surprise me?

The only film mentioned that I have ever watched is The Wizard of Oz and that is because it was on when I was round at my daughters and the grandchildren were watching it, and I'm not a young 'un.

Another fabulous black and white 60's film is The Family Way with Hywel Bennett and Hayley Mills. I'd really recommend this film.

Watch this and tell me what you think.
Will check out talking pictures.

[ummmm]

TTT, you sensitive soul you :-) I've only seen 1 B&W film as I said in my answer.

I'm like Pixie, I haven't watched one that I remember, I loved It's a Wonderful Life, the remake in colour that is

[Barsel]

burlyshirley when you said Our Street did you mean This is my Street with June Ritchie?

I grew up with b and w movies on the telly on Saturday afternoons. I loved Casablanca, Citizen Kane, War of The Worlds, anything with Fred Astair, James Cagney...particularly Yankee Doodle Dandy. He was a spectacular dancer.
Weird to know many were already 'old' in the late 50s when I saw them.
He was a spectacular dancer.

My dear departed dad loved his black and white films.

A Taste Of Honey and The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner were two brilliant films, both in black and white. Also Whistle Down The Wind, filmed in and around Burnley.

Have never liked Hayley Mills.
