The Trash Challenge has been a blast, but it's cumming to an end. Let's get some B&W recs going, so we can jump right into the next challenge, huh?
I love the Universal Monster movies, and have seen most of the main ones. Anything with Karloff or Lugosi is good by default. I've seen a handful of other "essentials" like:
20s:
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, The Phantom of the Opera
30s:
White Zombie, Mystery of the Wax Museum, Freaks, King Kong, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Wizard of Oz
40s:
This decade kinda sucked, didn't it?
50s:
The Day the Earth Stood Still, The Thing from Another World, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers, A Bucket of Blood, The Tingler, House on Haunted Hill, Plan 9 from Outer Space, The Bad Seed, Glen or Glenda
60s:
Paranoiac, Psycho, Repulsion, Mondo Trasho, Night of the Living Dead
List your faves, horror or otherwise.
Here's a reference:

Anyway, do love his short Un Chien Andalou & many of the movies others have listed, esp Frankenstein, Nosferatu & Psycho.
A recent one i would highly recommend is Tzameti (2005) - a quaint but intense Georgian thriller where a young man happens upon some train tickets & instructions meant for another. He decides to go with the unknown, entering an unground world of violence & chance.
