as the title says, i want you guys to suggest me any black and white film you like. from silent cinema (for example with Chaplin) until the last noir film ever shot. thanks!
And Chinatown, Bladerunner, Brick, Taxi Driver, Point Blank, LA confidential, Sin City, etc. Neo-Noir is an awesome genre to investigate once you're familiar with classical film noir conventions.There are actually good film noirs in color too like Leave Her To Heaven.

If OP means just black and white films... wut?
thank you for the list!
i love all black and whites, whether they are new or old. (Hitchcock rules!)
You're welcome. Yeah I love black & white films too.
Eh, aside from Chinatown I wouldn't consider the other ones noirs even though they are good films. They are neo-noir but that's different from film noir to me, they are also good but just way different from the original film noir (I mean we can even call Batman films neo-noir but I wouldn't call it a film noir). I'm kind of a noir purist, but I know that many would agree that these are noirs. But for me, Taxi Driver has much more in common with The Searchers than The Maltese Falcon (probably the first major film noir) so I'd rather even call it an urban western (even though I wouldn't) rather than a neo-noir.
And yeah the OP did say "any black and white film" so I just think he/she messed up on the title.
old films, new films. it doesn't matter. i just love the culture of noir and neo noir.
thank you for the list once again!
Dark City
i know the difference bros, no worries.
just love noirs and neo-noirs, in black and white or not. <3
Okay but in your first post you said any black and white films, and you even mentioned Chaplin who didn't make film noirs so I sent you a list of black and white movies (most of which are not film noirs). That was confusing to me.
