Indie B&W Flicks


but something great! were there many indie movies of the 40s for example. i'd guess no, but i'm sure you all know more

Living in Oblivion is partially black & white... I think that counts for something. It's also a fantastic indie, a classic.

Aye, it seems like only yesterday that that I was recommending one of those. Behold:

reply

It's not B&W but it is a great movie.

reply

Ok, Been years since I watched it. Had a vague memory of it being b&w for some reason 👍

i dont like when newer movies make b&w, its usually a stunt

edit: looking at your original post, it seems i probably misunderstood your request. i posted recent b&w films. most are from the last 10 years or so. they're all good & under-seen imo, so i'l just leave my comments in place.

the colour wheel was one i enjoyed quite a bit, & one that i thought gained from being in b&w. it's a fairly bleak, ugly film, and i certainly wouldn't want to see nothing but movies like this, but i'm glad i saw it.

i haven't watched it recently, but pi is probably still my favourite aronofsky.

guy and madeline on a park bench is damien chazelle's first film, and i think it's a blast. it's very loose story-wise, but it has tons of energy.

frances ha is another favourite.
a field in england is wonderfully weird, like a period film meets 2001 on mushrooms.
a girl walks home at night is one of the best horror films of recent years imo
embrace of the serpent was one of the best films of 2015 imo

i saw frances ha and it lacked a lot, i think the new directors think they'll get a new audience by doing this but the writing could have been done by a 15-yr old

pi was not enjoyable, i felt like i was back in school, ha france

Rumble Fish. Great movie, Matt Dillon and Mickey Rourke.

Huh? Not the one I'm familiar with. Jon Demme, the 80s.

Stranger Than Paradise (1984), a Jim Jarmusch film. Love it, a lot of dead-pan humor.
