List of recent films in black-and-white

List of recent films in black-and-white


Since the mid-1960s, feature films have been filmed almost exclusively
in color. Before this time, most dramas were filmed in black-and-white
while escapist fare, such as Westerns, musicals and comedies, were in
color. Still, films from the last few decades are sometimes presented
in black and white, usually to create a vintage look.
