“Metropolis” for sci fi, “Arsenic and Old Lace” for comedy, and “The Seventh Seal” for Death - yay Death!

That is interesting because I would have also guessed “The Birds” was in B&W too.

How about “Rear Window”? In my mind I see it as B&W.

Ditto.

I watch over-the-air broadcasts of METV on my computer tuner. Perry Mason, The Rebel & The Rifleman.

Just watched 2 of the first episodes of the Rifleman. Michael Landon was in the 2nd episode. Directed by Sam Peckinpah. 1958. Before Bonanza. Good stuff

Also, saw Leonard Nimoy on a very old episode of The Rebel.

Not movies, but still, high quality B&W films...

Loved The Last Picture Show.

Dr. Strangelove - a CLASSIC

I liked “Last Picture Show” too. It had a lot of the atmosphere of the era. It was also the time period where I grew up.

There was one thing I noticed which McMurtry got wrong. He had the coaches constantly using profanity. I think the Florida Panhandle was very similar to the Texas Panhandle.

The coaches could make you bend over and then kick you and nobody minded but the parents would not have put up with profanity from a high school coach.

Now college was a different thing.

The movies on the link are public domain. So, Dr. Strangelove and The Third Man are out.

I would like to suggest a public domain B-movie that was unusually well done, and has, for my money, the nastiest (realistic) villainess I've seen. "Detour". Surprisingly good.

Damn your eyes! Going “for a quick glance”, I just spent over an hour looking at the banned commercials and other neat stuff at that site.

And gee, Ann Savage was such a pleasant leading-lady in little Columbia b-films. She goes over to PRC for “Detour” and becomes an all-out nightmare!

I remember showing “Detour” to a friend of mine in the early-1980s, and he was positively aghast at Savage and her character. Skin-crawling, disquieting. Nothing else remotely like it, from that era.

Thunder Road. Robert Mitchum just about totally did every thing about the film. He starred in it, wrote the theme song, directed it, and had his Son play his little Brother.

Another odd thing is a professional singer did the theme song in the movie but Mitchum sang a version which became a hit. Mitchum actually sounded better than the professional singer’s version.
