Black and White

I've discovered I've really got a thing for old movies. They really fit a lot into a couple of hours, often less. The plot lines move fast, the conversation is quick and you have to pay very close attention to catch it all, and the film makers rely almost entirely on conversation in romantic comedies, rather than on physical attraction and action as in so many movies today. They're very enjoyable to watch, great plots for the most part, and there is something about a black and white movie that's just really appealing. I'm not sure what it is. The style is great too. Sometimes I wish I had clothes like people did in the movies. Ah well, no such luck. The men are generally really attractive too, but not in the same way as actors today are. I'm really glad I took this class (philosophy of film)-the courseload isn't too bad, the philosophy is really interesting and different from pretty much any I've done so far, and the movies are great. I'm being exposed to a whole new genre of film that I really want to get more into. If anybody has seen any classic movies that they want to share with me, please do.
