MONDAY MOVIE MEME
Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too. Go to your blog and create your own post on the topic, linking back to us in your post, then come back and leave a link to your post here in our Comments section. If you don’t have a blog, just share your response in the Comments section.
This week's movie topic is all about Black & White Pictures...
Today we're kickin' it old school. Classic. Vintage. Black & White films. Digital special effects and vibrant rainbows of colors are terrific. But the simplicity and clarity of B&W movies creates an entirely different effect. And one that we love to experience every now and again for old time's sake. Here are some of our favorites. Share on your blog those color-free flicks that stop you in your tracks and link back here at The Bumbles. And don't forget to visit your fellow participants!

I haven't watched a B & W movie in so long. I love them.
Oh, I love B&W movies! I really had to exercise restraint on this one. Umm...really. I could have posted two or three times as many as I did. =)

Great movies all! B&W movies are so wonderful! However, I don't like the ones they do today as much...they seem fakey.
My kids groan every time I quote "an angel gets his wings" during the Christmas season!
I love It Happened One Night! Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert at their funniest!
Casablanca!!!
We'll always have Paris!!
I sob everytime..
I love watching "It's a Wonderful Life" every Christmas. my Monday movie
The first three were my top choices! here are mine: http://gofita.blogspot.com/2009/12/monday-movie-meme-black-and-white.html
Black and White movies bring back many fond memories of watching the classics with my Grandmother and my Dad. I love watching the original Miracle on 34th Street and the 1938 version of A Christmas Carol with Reginald Owen. Another favorite though it is in color is The Five Pennies with Danny Kaye.
Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho comes to mind. It was terrifying in black and white!
This is a great topic! You listed some wqonderful classics!
Here's my list:
Movie Monday
Thank you!
Damn you, Bumbles! Thinking of that scene from To Kill a Mockingbird always makes me cry. So I came up with three different B&Ws that I love.
Classic movies! In addition to the ones you mention, you have to have Bringing Up Baby in a list of classic B/W movies!
I have seen 12 angry men about 10 times! (Did you ever see the HBO remake? Well worth the look! An all star cast!)
I love B&W films! I had a lot of fun with this one this evening. :)

I'm sorry to have missed this one. All of yours would have been on my list, plus "Arsenic and Old Lace," "M," "High Noon" and "Casablanca." Just off the top of my head.
You have listed my favorites, with It Happened One Night at the top of my list. The only one I haven't seen (and loved) is You Can't Take It With You. I will add Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and stop there :)
