The previous thread on this topic was fascinating but a bit vague.
1) Schindler's List
2) The Man Who Wasn't There
3) Ed Wood
4) Clerks *
5) The Addiction *
* I'm open to ideas on these last two and know that technically "Raging Bull" & "The Last Picture Show" trump them both - but I just "respected" Bull & Picture Show more than I actually "enjoyed" them.
If only you could see what I have seen through your eyes.
Clerks is one the the worst movies of all time. Horribly acted, written, directed... And totally unfunny.

If you allow Schindler's List and Raging Bull, these would be my top 2, but both did involve some color, even if only a tiny moment.
If not, my top 5 are:
The Elephant Man
Good Night, and Good Luck
Following
Pi
Down by Law
Top 5 foreign B&W:
The White Ribbon
Man Bites Dog

Raging Bull - tied with - Ed Wood
Pretty standard list I guess.
I'm going to find it and I'm going to destroy it. I don't know how yet. Possibly with dynamite.
I really like Last Picture Show, more so than the other movies mentioned here. It's somber yet lively in some ways (Cybill Shepherd), the young men are suitably confused, Cloris is heart-breaking, and good ol' Ben Johnson. Great cinematography, great setting.
