top christmas movies in Classic Black & White category

Black & White movies were made when Hollywood and Radio ruled in entertainment. TV was still to come.
Hollywood and the rest of the world had to use talent, acting, directing, editing TALENT that had to work hard to make the audience forget they were watching in black & white on a flat screen and often with streaks and imperfection on screen. The limits of the technology seems to have brought out the best in story telling and acting a like.
We have also had the time to forget the quota quickies the B movies and remember the best that they had. No doubt helped by some big stars who made it to the clor cinemascope days.

1-Classic black & white, try It's A Wonderful Life 1946 James Stewart
