    @ebertchicago started mine when they were young on To Kill A Mockingbird. Way better than the Shirley Temple movies on which I cut my teeth.

    @ebertchicago But what do you do with coworkers who won't watch a subtitled movie?

    @ebertchicago My daughter's favorite movies as a child were the Marx Brothers and her favorite cartoons were Betty Boop. B&W FTW!

    @ebertchicago I grew up on black and white tv shows like Addams family, stooges, munsters, old westerns. My dad is awesome.

    @ebertchicago Any good American films to come out on b&w in past 15 years? The Man Who Wasn't There comes to mind...

    @ebertchicago Sweetest sound in the world is my kids LOLing to Buster Keaton. Mid-section of 'College' brings down our house.

    @ebertchicago A kid won't watch a B&W movie: Force him to play videogames. The lack of art is punishment enough! I Kid. I'm with you 100%

    @ebertchicago And maybe made to watch "The Room." Kids won't enjoy it ironically.

    @ebertchicago Young Frankenstein! Wouldn't have been the same without that loving black-and-white evocation of the old movies.

    @ebertchicago I can't imagine seeing "Queen Christina" in color. It would be so...horribly wrong. My nephew will know the joys of B&W.

    @ebertchicago I've never watched a movie in black and white in it's entirety. It's almost like playing a original b&w Game Boy. Ugly.

    @ebertchicago speaking of black and white films, I'm watching "Dr. Strangelove" right now.

    @ebertchicago If they're old enough, show them Arsenick and Old Lace. Anyone who doesn't find that movie funny is tragically broken.

    @ebertchicago actually, as with many things, exposure and enthusiasm from an early age works wonders.

    @ebertchicago the first b/w film I showed my kids was "A Hard Day's Night." A complete success, followed by Harold Lloyd's "Girl Shy" :)

    @ebertchicago my earliest memory of a Black and White AND letter box format film was the "Diary of Anne Frank." I had good parents.
