Yes, I sometimes do. I like those World War II documentaries. These contain a real footage of the past events, it's very interesting to see these events live. Black and white footage is much better than the color reconstruction of battles etc.

There are so many black and white films that I still love to watch. There is just something about them that is captivating. One of my favourite is the old 1945 'Brief Encounters',this is a wonderfully simple story and the black and white filming seems to capture this. I know that there are lots of ‘themes’ that can be looked at in this film, I know that it is very dated, I know that the 'cut glass' English accents can be rather annoying – but all in all the 86 minutes that it runs just fly by. I think that the film is supremely and unaffectedly English, from the steam trains, the clipped vowels, and the tortured middle class decency of the main characters. With writing from Noel Coward, direction from David Lean, incredible filmin and wonderfulacting there is also the fantastic use of Rachmaninoff's Concerto no. 2 in C minor, especially the adagio section. I can’t hear that music now without imagining Celia Johnson’s tear streaked face. A wonderful old film!!

I've watched black and white movies when I was a kid. I remember the shows to be in black and white and those with colored TV were the priviledged ones. When colored TVs became less expensive, we switched immediately, thus ending our black and white experience.

black and white movies are favorites for some peoples. in my opinion, we only watch top rated black and white movies. but in case of medium rated movies never watch because of the absence of other colors. the black and white movies doesn't satisfied for needs. the vision feels not good. thanks
