    @chuls You were perhaps after “classic” (i.e. old-school?) black-and-white films, but for me it would have to be Jim Jarmusch’s Coffee and Cigarettes (2003)

    @chuls I can't decide between these:
    - 12 angry men
    - paths of glory
    - city lights
    - le trou
    - dr. Strangelove
    All absolutely timeless movies, that have not lost any of their magic for me.

    @tildeMtilde we actually ended up watching 12 Angry Men yesterday and I agree, there are a lot of very timeless aspects to it

    @chuls but if you're allowing more than one then in no particular order

    Umberto D.
    Alphaville
    L'Oro di Napoli
    Germany Year Zero
    The Grand Illusion
    Hiroshima Mon Amour

    @gavin that's a good question :) I ended up asking because I felt like I wanted to watch some old black and white films for the art of the monochrome shot. and I couldn't decide, so

    but in the past I have enjoyed everything by Charlie Chaplin, perhaps less so for the aesthetics. I also used to go through a Bette Davis phase, but while these films looked great, from memory, it was more about her than the aesthetics. and Metropolis is an absolute classic of course.

    @chuls @gavin especially wonderful b/w cinematography can be found in "touch of evil" and "the third man" (and many more noir films I guess, since mood/style seem to be quite important)

    @tildeMtilde @gavin I've actually been meaning to watch the Third Man for such a long time. I think I might have aeons ago but I don't remember. but people keep asking if we want to go on the third man tour in Vienna and I'm always like, I need to watch the film (again) first. so that's on the agenda now

    @chuls
    Night of the Living Dead, I was far too young to watch and my uncle turned it off just before Ben was killed. It was at least a decade before I found out the climax.
