The 10 Best Black and White Movies of the 21st Century

"With the advent of new technologies, it's perhaps expected that their predecessors will fade into disuse, but not so with black and white films. Despite the vast array of options available to filmmakers today, the monochrome look still holds appeal, with Korea's Bong Joon-ho recently rereleasing his Oscar-winning film Parasite in black and white.

Making a black and white film these days is a very deliberate choice. The vast majority are filmed in colour then converted in post-production. This process is cheaper than using stock black and white film and it avoids some of the difficulties such film can throw up around image quality and lighting. This list is an introduction to just some of the modern black and white masterpieces made over the last two decades that you should know."
