I want to watch the 1932 version of Scarface as I had no idea it existed. 

 

@Tony Moanero watches all films in black and white. 

Ha ha. In the early nineties, I knew a lad whose parents still had a black and white television.

Tiger Bay always seemed to be on the box when I was ill from school.

I only discovered this film recently after watching Whistle down the wind. I thought it was brilliant.

Peter Sellers plays a proper bastard in this and plays it well, keep expecting to see him fall over the furniture.

Arsenic and Old Lace is still one of the funniest films ever made.

[Lee909]

Never actually watched the whole film but great speech and performance in black and white

Grim gritty and sad. Patrick McGoohan plays an innocent new prison warden in a Irish death row prison. With Sylvia Sims.

Always liked this one more so for the Liverpool Street scenes.

Weird that the promotional poster is in colour. Must have been quite a revelation first time there was a colour poster and a colour film.

Samuel Fuller’s Naked Kiss and Shock Corridor are worth seeking out for something a bit off the beaten path.

Nicholas Ray’s In a Lonely Place is probably on my top ten list of films ever.

The Thin Man series of films with William Powell and Myrna Loy.

Powelland Pressburger’s I Know Where I’m Going and A Canterbury Tale.

Carol Reed’s Odd Man Out, with James Mason, is likewise sublime.
