Top 5 Black and White Movies of All-Time

CinemaStickler

It is hard to think of a time where all movies were black and white.  While some directors occasionally turn to it int today’s day and age, color has dominated the big screen for the larger part of the last half century.  Here is a list of the five best black and white movies out there.

#5:  Wizard of Oz (1939)

Okay, so this isn’t technically a complete black and white movie because color had just become a staple in the movie industry during the middle of the production.  As a result, the directors decided to film Oz in color while keeping the real world in black and white.  Regardless, Wizard of Oz is a classic movie that appeals to people from all age demographics.

#4:  It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

Movies I Should Have Already Watched – “The Big Lebowski”

Ed's Space for His Rambling Thoughts

download (1)The Big Lebowski is a strange movie and, as such, is difficult to classify, but I would say it is a surrealistic crime comedy. However, it is still a cult classic (It even has its own convention) and deserves to be watched and analyzed.

The premise is that two thugs invade Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski’s house and piss on his rug (Which really tied the room together), because they confused him with another Jeffrey Lebowski, a millionaire. The Dude then sets off in a journey to get a new rug, and ends up involved in a kidnapping, a car robbery and becomes the target of threats from germans.

The movie is strange, unique, non-sensical or a masterpiece, depending on who you ask. I say it is a unique and surreal film. The plot is strange, but extremely interesting. The great cast of characters is refreshing in its weirdness and fun…

Glen Falkenstein explores the similarities between a couple of Oscar winners

“All art is autobiographical… Even if I set out to make a film about a fillet of sole, it would be about me.”

Italian filmmaker Federico Fellini, of 8 ½ fame, liked to make films that said something, about himself, and about film. His post-neorealist, dream-filled, highly-symbolic self-indulgent classic stands as a benchmark for the growing clique of filmmakers who like to watch, and create, films about film.

For Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, fresh of winning Best Director and Best Picture for Birdman, or the Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance, 8 ½ was clearly more than an inspiration. The films, sharing more than just motifs and similar themes, are cathartic experiments for filmmakers and moviegoers who want more from cinema than a box of popcorn with a beginning, middle and end.
