Reason: Additions
Rebecca - 1940 with Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders. A wonderful mystery/suspense directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
One of my absolute favorite B&W movies - it's in my queue right now.

AHHH! Sunset Blvd! How could I forget that one? Thanks for mentioning that classic, Adream. Some classic lines in this picture.
"You're Norma Desmond. You used to be in silent pictures. You used to be big."
"I am big. It's the pictures that got small."
"There once was a time in this business when I had the eyes of the whole world! But that wasn't good enough for them, oh no! They had to have the ears of the whole world too. So they opened their big mouths and out came talk. Talk! TALK!"
"All right, Mr. DeMille. I'm ready for my close-up."
^^ Thanks for such a great list of recommendations everyone. I hope I got you all with the rep points. I will start adding these onto my netflix list. If you can think of any more feel free to through them my way.
How about The Lady Eve with Henry Fonda and Barbara Stanwyck?
