When I was a little girl I used to watch a series called Ma & PA Kettle.
I think they were movies from the 40's and run on the TV on Sundays during the 1960's.
OMG! I feel so old just thinking about it.

I don't have a favorite black and white movie because I prefer HD on my flat screen. But if I were to watch one, it would be the original batman movie starring Adam West.

William, Megan and Avery said...

My absolute FAVORITE black and white movie (one of my favorites, period) is Roman Holiday... A young Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck... it makes me smile just to think about watching it! :)

Miracle on 34th Street - and I love the old Black and White I Love Lucy shows too!

Alitheia said...

My favorite B&W movie would have to be The Outlaw directed by Howard Hughes, it was made after color pictures were all the rage and it's so much more dramatic because it's not it color =) The plot isn't the strongest in the world, but it's just fun to watch =)

The Dales said...

Breakfast at Tiffany's, I am shocked no one has posted this one yet! It is my all time fav movie!

I didn't even have to pause to think about the answer to this one-
Top Hat with Fred Astair and Ginger Rogers

I was a dancer and they were my inspiration

Sarah Rose said...

I think it would have to be the old Miracle on 34th Street... or Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. I was so biased against black and white movies growing up, I wish there were more that I loved!

Gina @ MoneywiseMoms said...

No question--Casablanca
Thanks for doing the giveaway!

Sara Fleming said...

the bracelet is adorable! thanks for giving it away :)

i absolutely adore "On Golden Pond" with Katherine Hepburn...it was first made in black and white, and later remade in color, but the black and white is the best in my opinion! one of my favorite quotes from the movie, said by Ethel, played by Hepburn, is: "Listen to me, mister. You're my knight in shining armor. Don't you forget it. You're going to get back on that horse, and I'm going to be right behind you, holding on tight, and away we're going to go, go, go!"

Watch this movie with your mom or other girls you're close to sometime...you'll love it!!! :)

i hope i win!!!!

Qtpies7 said...

I couldn't think of a single one on my own, lol. However, I do like The Diary of Anne Frank. I can't believe I don't remember that being black and white. I guess it is just so "real" that it came across in color for me.

AudreyO said...

My favorite black and white movie is Clerks. How many modern day movies are black and white?? :)

A Christmas Carol... loved watching it with my mom when I was little!

Elizabeth Glass-Turner said...

In no particular order:

"It Happened One Night" (this was the first to come to mind)

"It's a Wonderful Life"

"Casablanca"

But if it was a desert island situation, I'd probably take "It Happened One Night," since it has more humor and less drama.
