Quote:
I went to several film appreciation classes under the University of Nevada, Reno film critic Howard Rosenberg (not the LA one, there are two film critics with the same name!) and he presented a number of black and white classics on a fair sized screen at what was the MGM in Reno, Nevada. The movies should be seen on a big screen if at all possible and without distractions. Black and white movies look particularly good in the dark as it brings out the shadowing. Liked Birdman of Alcatraz. |

How about:
1. Frankenstein with Colin Clive and Boris Karloff. 2. The Wolfman with Lon Chaney and Claude Rains. 3. Dracula with Bela Lugosi. 4. Hold that Ghost with Abbott and Costello. 5. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and The Wolfman. Abbott and Costello had great routines like the unforgetable, "Who On First" in The Naughty Nineties. For Tal: I also love the shadows seen in these type of films, as it added a lot of drama to certain scenes.
