    RJ Greatest B&W Movie commentary thread

    Post your comments on the picks here.

    I am delighted to pick 12 Angry Men with the first pick. Acting was fantastic, just perfect casting. Lumet's camera work was outstanding. This is as close to a perfect movie as I can imagine.

      Dr. Strangelove is the only B&W film in my personal top 20.
      If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

            Thanks you as well. I watched it a couple months ago and it's incredible how well it's held up.

              Damn, just realized I should have waited three more minutes to post my pick. Rookie mistake.

                Was really hoping 12 Angry Men was going to fall to me. Phenomenal movie. If my other #1 choice doesn't fall to me at 1.06, I will be rather distraught.
                "Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"
                "Certainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the turban!"

                  I am wondering if your other #1 pick is my other #1 pick.

                  I believe I have no chance of mine getting back to me.

                    Why do I get the feeling that like every other RJ draft I participate in, my picks will be safe from anyone else? We will see!

                      First round is starting off strong as expected.

                        Apparently not as Steve takes the movie I was picking first.

                          I'm a bit confused. Did you really think no one else was going to have Casablanca as a top 10 pick?

                            And I have Maltese Falcon one tick above Casablanca.

                              Yep, Long John grabbed my other #1 pick with Young Frankenstein. Well played sir.
