It’s a magic addiction. I also love the ancient jazz of the early 20th century, though that takes more time to adjust to. I’m married to a wonderful woman who does not share our immersion in these movies, and I realize even good people will never get it. Why doesn’t everybody long to travel in time in the only possible vessel we’ll ever have, these movies? I will never stop enjoying becoming a more innocent person in a more innocent time, soaking in the security of knowing you are in a world where truth is common sense, where trying to be good is more important than trying to be cool.

I don't suppose that list of 50 must-sees is available somewhere? I'd be very interested!

Thought this was about the Michael Jackson song "Black or White":

I'm not gonna spend my life being a color

Loved this! My favorite movies are from the 1950s and 1960s. But there's nothing like a black and white film noir, mystery or drama preferably at night!
