Top three b and w films

[cunninglinguist]

I am not old enough to have seen many b and w films the first time around (can't count Schindlers List or Das Boot, as they were just done for effect).

The films I am on about are the genuine classics dating from 60's or earlier.

My list consists of:-

12 Angry Men
Goodbye Mr chips (Robert Donat)
Roman Holiday

Some recommendations, from those with a wider experience than mine, would be good.

[Corkhead]

1. Great Expectations

2. Citizen Kane

3. High Noon

And ...

The Third Man and Pyscho (the lightbulb swinging over the eye socket in the skull had me edging for the cinema door as an impressionable ****ager)

[tamarblue]

1 Kodak

2. Ilford

3. Is a toss up between Agfa or Fujifilm

I'm not going to respond to the top three colour films thread

Nosferatu from 1922, Casablanca and The grapes of wrath. Although too many to chose from, many already mentioned.
To kill a mockingbird only not in my top 3 as the book is amazing.

'In the Heat of the Night' was in glorious technicolour, btw - you thinking of 'Blackboard Jungle' with Sidney Poitier, p'raps Biles?

LDB was Billy Liar the film Tom Courtney used to fall over and get up really quick? :? Billy Liar is a 1963 film based on the novel by Keith Waterhouse. It was directed by John Schlesinger and stars Tom Courtenay (who had understudied Albert Finney in the West End theatre adaptation of the novel) as Billy and Julie Christie as Liz, one of his three girlfriends. Mona Washbourne plays Mrs. Fisher, and Wilfred Pickles played Mr. Fisher. Rodney Bewes, Finlay Currie and Leonard Rossiter also feature. The Cinemascope photography is by Denys Coop, and Richard Rodney Bennett supplied the score.

The film belongs to the British New Wave (or "kitchen sink drama") movement, inspired by the earlier French New Wave. Characteristic of the style is a documentary/cinema verite feel and the use of real locations (in this case the city of Bradford in Yorkshire). One sequence includes a very
