    Casablanca is the greatest movie ever made.

    As for the Marx Brothers, I'll take Animal Crackers, A Night at the Opera, Duck Soup, A Day at the Races...

    Really? The first third of it has a ton of really funny lines and introduces all the great characters.

    My wife refuses to watch watch any movie in black and white (with very few exceptions). It makes me sad.

    Cold War, a 2018 Polish film about mismatched lovers, and longing, and what we do to get by. My wife and I saw it at the artsy theater in town and really enjoyed it.

    It does not have a Disney ending.

    Three other films that come to mind: The General (A Buster Keaton silent film)

    12 Angry Men (the original one).

    And, while it's black and white for creative reasons, I feel it should count anyways: Schindler's List. Not for the faint of heart.

    The Train. Lancaster and Paul Scofield in excellent performances, directed by Frankenheimer, from 1964.
    Anatomy of a Murder with James Stewart and a never looking better Lee Remick, once of the the sexiest woman ever, and directed by Otto Preminger. 1959, I think.

    The black and white version of Mad Max Fury Road is awesome. I think they call it the Chrome version on the blu-ray.

    Manhattan is one of the great visual works in the medium.
