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

[simonforever]

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.

[BileysThere]

In the heat of the night.
The early bird.
Flying dueces.
LDB was Billy Liar the film Tom Courtney used to fall over and get up really quick?
