yeah I'm a fan of Filipino classic film:THE SAMPAGUITA PICTURES

Foreign Film though it is not black and white but it is a classic : PILLOW TALK by Rock Hudson and Doris Day. I saw many black and white hollywood films but I kind don't remember the title.

MyGirl, your mention Sampaguita Pictures brought memories of me as a kid, watching Gloria Romero, Luis Gonzalez, Dolphy, Tita Duran, etc etc, every afternoon. There used to be LVN Pictures too. The black and white movies used to be shown after "Student Canteen" on GMA. I loved those times.

I have problems watching black and white Classic Movies from Hollywood. I dont know, probably because I'm a very visual person. I remember getting very disappointed when I first watched The Wizard of Oz not knowing that it was part of a creative way of presenting the pre-twister situation and when she finally landed in Oz.

But there are a few black and white movies esp Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, The Three Stooges that I used to watch when I was kid. I didnt mind then.

Mine are Ben Hur, Rio Bravo, The Getaway with Steve McQueen, and all the spaghetti westerns that Clint Eastwood made with Sergio Leone in Italy. These are not black and white but I still consider them classics because they were made in the 1960s. There is a war movie I like a lot with Gary Cooper in it called Sergeant something, but I cant remember the name of it .

That would be Gary Cooper as "Alvin C. York" in...

Sergeant York (1941)

I also really liked Gary Cooper as he brilliantly portrayed "Lou Gehrig" in...
The Pride Of The Yankees (1942)

I am not a fan of the Yankees at all...but when Cooper gives Lou Gehrig's famous..."I am the luckiest man on the face of the Earth" speech...I actually feel chills on the back of my neck, Yikes!

Gary Cooper...one of the best actors of all-time, It's just a shame that some of these old actors have been forgotten.
