Which classic black and white movie resonates with you? Tell us why for $2

One classic black and white film that sticks in my mind is "Casablanca" whichy was set during World War II, the film follows the story of Rick Blaine (who was played by Humphrey Bogart, which is the reason I remember this as my Gran went on about him being great haha and its a name most know even if they have never seen him in a movie) who is a nightclub owner in Casablanca!

Despite being shot in black and white, the film's universal and timeless themes of love, loyalty, and sacrifice relate well with audiences even today and with no colour palette!

You may have actually heard a classic line from"Casablanca" and not even know it such as the famous line "Here's looking at you, kid"!

Now this classic is over 75 years old! Like WOW, closing in on 100 years old! Check out the trailer if you fancy a look as they are suck time capsules of the movies back then also i think the editor of the trailer has just figured out scene transitions and has used every single one in this trailer haha Enjoy!

Oh my, definitely It’s A Wonderful Life! I absolutely love that film, definitely one of my favourite Christmas time films.

I think it works so well is because George very relatable. A nice guy trying to do his best but feels like he’s succeeding at nothing, eventually contemplating the value of his own existence.

It’s a great eye-opener to all the little ways we postively influence people’s lives every single day. In a way, it’s a very mindful film.

So I've waited to reply to this because my mum and dad used to watch black and white movies and such, and I will say for me:

Charles Chaplin better known as Charlie Chapman, was a very funny man and also a director, he, essentially kicked off what was called the "silent film" era. If you have ever seen his work, it was hilarious, he played a character called "The Tramp" and it was just one silly thing after another.

"Chaplin's later film The Great Dictator (1940), which was his first "talkie", also created a stir. In the film, Chaplin plays a humorous caricature of Adolf Hitler. Some thought the film was poorly done and in bad taste. However, the film grossed over $5 million and earned five Academy Award Nominations."

Why does it resonate? He like me pursued his career and interests with very little regard for what people think, I do the exact same thing when I'm working on YouTube or building my own personal client list IRL.

I relate to him a lot because despite the scandal and so on, he just kept ploughing ahead and I know a little something about that.

Some like it hot

It a comedy i remember from my childhood. There are many funny moments, good music and great acting.

12 Angry Men (1957) Despite the title, it isn't 12 men shouting at each other for 90 minutes. Nor is it a comedy about the little irritations of life that would make men in the 1940's blow a casket. It's actually a more cerebral and quieter film about a jury of 12 men from all walks of life debating on whether to sentence a young foreign boy for a crime. All but one juror had decided to vote guilty but one man (Juror 8). It's fascinating deep give into the human psyche, how they all grew up, their experiences as to why they voted guilty and it's only Juror 8 that wanted to re-examine the evidence and slowly he begins to convince all the other jurors.

It reminds me a lot of Phoenix Wright. Against all odds and armed with only critical thinking you can poke holes in the arguments and explore the alternatives to not only create doubt but also slowly reveal the truth.

It's a formative film that I watched in a general studies lesson at High School that made me think critically about everything before weighing up the evidence.
