Do you remember the last black and white movie you watched?

Not the last black and white i watched but worth a mention if you like old war movies.

‘I Was Monty’s Double’ (John Mills - he’s great in war films!)
This is about how an actor was trained to impersonate General Montgomery and sent off to north Africa to divert the Germans attentions away from the real Monty.

Great film with lots of humour, and one more for my collection.

Seance on a Wet Afternoon.

That’s another good one to catch,especially for Kim Stanley’s performance.

I came across that film recently and couldn’t remember if I’d ever seen it or not, maybe I had seen part of it many years ago, so I re-watched it, really enjoyed it. Very well-made, great acting.

The last B & W movie I watched was James Stewart’s Harvey. Really good movie, makes me laugh.

I can watch most anything I want B&W, if I choose. I have already seen most still offered.
I do appreciate B&W cause of the great Cinema video images, I think in black and white
when I chose to draw.

Yes,it is good.
I think that’s where they get the term “to gaslight” from.

I like all the Bogart and Bacall films too.

Classic Japanese movie, Attack from Space. 1965

The Earth is on the brink of destruction! Malevolent aliens known as the Spherions arrive from the Sapphire Galaxy, issuing a terrifying ultimatum: surrender or be annihilated by their powerful “burning glass” super-weapon, capable of incinerating entire cities from orbit.

With humanity’s defenses useless against their advanced flying saucers and ray guns, all hope seems lost. But a new hero emerges from the stars to defend the innocent: Starman (the legendary Super Giant)! Can this steel-bodied champion from the Emerald Planet stop the Spherion invasion and save humanity from a fiery doom?

Went the day well. Different sort of wartime movie.

I watch Freeview Channel 82 a lot and it’s full of the old stuff. Think the last B/W film I saw was called
Night of the Eagle. It’s an old horror film about witches and a group of collage professors.
For a supposed horror film made in 1962 it was really good. Great story, enjoyed it.

Another classic oldie from the dim and distant past

I honestly can’t remember when I last saw this, about fifteen years ago I think. One for the weekend perhaps…
