    I've been watching many black and white films as of late. I am really enjoying them. Wondering what are some of your favorites and if you have any recommendations.

    The obligatory "Casablanca" vote.

    Also, I grew up watching the Abbott & Costello films on Saturdays, so I'll note them, too.

    On the other hand, the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges don't interest me at all, so I've never watched any of their films.

    It's a Wonderful Life.

    And not just because of where we are on the calendar.

    Loved the Abbott and Costello films as a kid.

    In my senior year in high school, I had a media studies class. We watched Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train." On the rare times it's on TV, I'll always watch it.

    I'm kinda mixed on "Casablanca." I get that it's a classic, but I find the first 1/3 to 1/2 of the film kinda slow. I enjoy the second part of the film.

    Schindler's List, although for me that has been a one-and-done kind of watch.
