Why would anyone avoid them?

Why would someone not watch a movie if it's in black and white? Would be extremely surprised to see somebody answer 'no' to that poll.

Renn

Meh, beaten to it

Obvious one, but Psycho is my favourite by far.

The Third Man would be my favourite - haven't watched a huge amount in all honesty be we studied this for our leaving cert and I really like it. The plot was excellent, and the camera angles and shadows gave it a really cool atmosphere. The chase in the sewers at the end, and that first scene where you see Orson Welles character (Harry Lime?) smirking in the doorway.... Brillinat stuff, now I really want to see it again!i

There are certain people that would avoid a film because it is in black and white.
I call these people, idiots.
I think it's something with people that some just don't like films which aren't considered new.
And for that reason they don't like black and white.
I somehow doubt a lot of these people are on boards though.

I have loads of favorites .

Casablanca,The Misfits and any of the Marks Brothers films spring to mind

I do understand what you mean but it started out with the op asking if many of us will watch black and white films as i know a few people who cant stand them, it is also our favourite black and whites, no different to me then the threads asking favourite film, film of the week etc

johnny_ultimate

Sorry guys, this has just become another list thread.

it is also our favourite black and whites, no different to me then the threads asking favourite film, film of the week etc

Which, alas, all never have any real discussion
