    Default Any good B&W movies out there (besides Casablanca)?


    Ladies and gentlemen*,

    I think I've mentionend it in one or two other threads before: I'm a black and white movie fan. As such I'm on the search for B&W movies of course.

    I do know that "The Good German" was never released on HDM.

    So are there any other B&W movies than Casablanca out there on HD-DVD? My main genre would be some typicial sensual film. Something like Casablanca (which is already on the way to me).




    *How else to begin a thread about classic Black and White movies?

    "Good night and Good Luck"
    This is not an old classic, but is one of the few B&W out on HD DVD.

    Two others are "The 400 Blows" and "Jailhouse Rock."
    "The Elephant Man" also.

    Don't get me started on dvd classic B&W. I could list like 200 or so.

    It would be nice if Universal would release Schindler's List. I have it in SD and it looks amazing upconverted. I can only imagine how much better it would look, ( and sound) in HD DVD.

    'Schindler's List" will be amazing when it comes out for sure.
    Personally I can't wait for "Hud" to come out on an hd disc.

    Thanks. I think "Good Night and Good Luck" and "Jail House Rock" are definately 2 movies I'll look after.

    "The 400 Blows" however has a synopsis I'm absolutely not interested in.

    the man that wasn't there with billy bob was an awesome movie from universal. I would like to see that on hd dvd. I tell you from a company that supports hd dvd, we have not seen any good recent films from them.
