    There are lots.

    Fritz Lang and Ingmar Bergman, in very different ways, were masters with black and white.

    Scarlet Street is in full and free on YouTube for whatever reason. I recommend it.

    I enjoyed the sequel with Jimmy Cliff.

    I loved Cold War. Great suggestion.

    In the last season of "Fargo" half of one episode was filmed in B&W. I didn't realize it for about 45 minutes, then I wondered if the whole series was in B&W and I just hadn't noticed. Near the end of the episode, it shifted back into color.

    Virginia Weidler tucked that film into her pinafore pocket and walked away with it.

    She was great for sure. But my favorite moment is still the drunk Jimmy Stewart bellowing, "OH C.K. DEXTER HAAAAAAVEN!"

    And I love this little exchange early in Casablanca:

    Citizen Kane
    "Mank," now on Netflix, is David Fincher's BW-styled story of the screenwriter.

    A bit outside the box, but I always liked "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid," the Steve Martin movie where he starred with some Hollywood legends, thanks to classic movie scenes spliced in. A bit choppy at times, but a clever idea. And having a young, fetching Rachel Ward didn't hurt either.

  12. Treasure of the Sierra Madre is one of my all-time favorites. Bogart at his best. Maltese Falcon is very good.
    Hud, early Paul Newman. A dark movie. Kind of like the The Hustler (another great one)!
    Sunset Boulevard is AWESOME. I love William Holden movies and this is one his best.

    Duck Soup is on Netflix. The Marx Bros are timeless.
