I saw "the Birds" when I was little and it scared the crap out of me. That, "Jaws", and "the Omen" were the only movies to ever really do that. I've got a good list to get me started now at least.

I was lucky to stay up and watch the late night movies with my dad in the 1950s.

(I think Garson won an Oscar.) For a film about GI's returning home from the war see "The Best Years of Our Lives" with Dana Andrews and Fredric March.<BR/><BR/>I also forget to mention last time one of my favorite BW films about WW2, "Twelve O'Clock High" with Gregory Peck.

You'll love the b/w photography, too, and the low camera angle when Brando's Stanley bullies Vivien Leigh's Blanche. <BR/><BR/>Don't get me started. I wrote my doctoral dissertation on Tennessee Williams' "Baby Doll." Look that one up, too.unbearable lightnesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16146661740927787207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908801092585839195.post-75548510328848091482008-05-15T17:07:00.000-07:002008-05-15T17:07:00.000-07:00Glad you're catching up on the some of the classic...Glad you're catching up on the some of the classics, Terrell. A few great BW films to look for are "Laura," "The Day the Earth Stood Still," "The Scarlet Pimpernel," "Wuthering Heights," "All About Eve,""The 39 Steps," "Rebecca" and of course, "Dr. Strangelove." There are just too many to mention.<BR/><BR/>Don't forget one of the best sets of dialogue from "Casablanca':<BR/><BR/>"Your Dave Rudinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09840520300856579933noreply@blogger.com
