    How many black & white movies are in your DVD collection? I have a little over 300 movies and I'm 99.98% sure that CLERKS is the only non-color DVD movie I possess.

    I love MST3K. But only with the orignal host. The replacement guy was terrible. That show needs to come back on the air. There's just too many bad movies that need to be made fun of.

    Hi,

    You didn't like Mike???? Come on he was on the writing staff originally with Joel and promoted when joel bailed. He's not quite as goofy as Joel but he's still fun.

    But I do agree they should make a comeback. We need the comic relief!

    I shouldn't say Mike was terrible, because he wasn't. For me Joel was just funnier and as you say, goofier. Once Mike took over, it just wasn't the same. I couldn't watch it anymore. Generally I don't like it when a host gets replaced. If Mike had hosted from the beginning, I might have enjoyed watching the show with him, who knows? This is just my opinion of course.

    Schindler's List and Clerks are the only 2 I have.

  11. I haven't counted, but I'll say between 50 and 100

    Though it would be more if you count tinted and stuff that is in color and B&W


    I have a lot of artsy films, indies, music videos and silent films.

    I got several DVDs as in B/W

    Movies such as Schindler's List, Some Like It Hot, the original Mr. & Mrs. Smith and the Charlie Chaplin Collection are examples I own.

    Lolita is another one in B/W and there are plenty of others like that having no color.

    I reckon I got something like a dozen of them.

    At least 100. Love the silents and early talkies.
    These are often $1-5 each too, super cheap.

    I have a few old TV series and comedy on DVD and in black and white.

    With color TV now, you don't see many black-and-white programs anymore.

  24. I'm rebuilding my gangster movie collection on DVD, so that includes a lot of BW titles. Between TCM, Fox Movie Channel and new releases on DVD, my collection is becoming quite respectable....

  26. I have hundreds of '20s-'60s B&W movies on DVD, including quite a few I made myself from Turner Classic Movies captures.

    I also have quite a few "modern" movies in B&W, including:
    The Man Who Wasn't There
    Schindler's List
    Young Frankenstein
    Raging Bull
    Go Fish
    Pi
    Manhattan
    Stardust Memories
    The Last Picture Show
    Shadows and Fog
    Coffee and Cigarettes
    Ed Wood
    The Elephant Man
    Clerks
    Rumble Fish

    I grew up on B&W televison, so it seems normal to me. The first 5 or 6 times I saw The Wizard of Oz I didn't realize that most of it was in color -- it was all black and white on our TV.

    Every Kurosawa film available in the US, though 4 are in color so they don't count. I also have some other older Japanese films by the likes of Ozu and Inagaki. I've picked up some other old European films but haven't had a chance to watch them all yet. Those are all Criterion picks.

    If you like Chaplin, Keaton, etc. ... check out HAROLD LLOYD ... by far my favorite silent, aside from Laurel & Hardy.
