Hi all:
I am seeking heartwarming B&W movies...sort of like, The Best Years of our lives, It's a Wonderful Life, Mrs. Miniver...etc. Or perhaps WWII dramas that work on your heart...
Thanks..

The Quiet Man. One of the few John Wayne movies I like.
National Velvet (though I don't know if it was actually in color, or colorized.)
Lassie Come Home (Roddy McDowal and Liz Taylor as children - priceless!)
Does it have to be black and white? One of my favorite movies is from the 1950's - Singin' in the Rain.

The Quiet Man. One of the few John Wayne movies I like. Not black and white. In fact, I think they won an award for the cinematography.
Anything starring Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn.
She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, Fort Apache, Rio Grande - all starring John Wayne and Henry Fonda. Great US calvary movies.
Most of Abbott and Costello. I'd skip Jack and the Beanstalk(color) and Africa Screams.
Going My Way and The Bells of St. Mary's starring Bing Crosby
ETA Casablanca! How could I forget the greatest movie ever made.

Quote:
"A black and white movie isn't lacking something, it's adding something: The world is in color, so we get that for free, but black & white is a stylistic alternative, more dreamlike, more timeless. Moviegoers, of course, have the right to dislike black and white, but it is not something they should be proud of. It reveals them, frankly, as cinematically illiterate. I have been described as a snob on this issue. But snobs exclude; they do not include. To exclude black and white from your choices is an admission that you have a closed mind, a limited imagination, or are lacking in taste." - Roger Ebert
