#Movies #BlackAndWhiteMovies #OldMovies

I'm not a huge fan of 40s/50s movies. I watch them, they're enjoyable, but most I wouldn't call standout, must-see films.

But some are standout movies.

What old, black and white movie would you say is a classic, must-see #masterpiece of #cinema?

One I'd recommend is Sunset Boulevard.

I think that's my favourite b/w-era movie.
