Another one I like is "the asphalt jungle" with sterling Hayden. Thatcs one of my favorite film noires. Also the ONKY move with Marylin Monroe I watch, and I watch it despite her

Seriously, I don't hate Monroe but I can't stand her acting. To me she's the most overrated star ever. I guess if you xxxx a president and die young you get famous...

In cold blood was an extremely powerful B&W movie and one I donct himk would have been as effective in color.

NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD (1968) was made in the age of color, as was ERASERHEAD, and ED WOOD-all great films.

Great movie! I would add NOSFERATU (1922) , the BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935) and any 3 Stooges' short from the 30's or 40's.

ER · September 28, 2019, 09:08:43 AM

Carnival of Souls. It's short, to the point, has a nerd in lust, and it's creepy as a stalking leopard.

"The visit" with Anthony quinn. Havenct seen it? Correct that.

A modern remake could be good.
