Wesley Snipes had some great moves on the court - kept things lively, while Woody Harrelson's character's fuckups kept the action going.
Definitely my favorite black and white movie... A classic from the 90's!

Judgement At Nuremberg
One of the best films I have ever seen. Definitely the best court room drama ever made. Spencer Tracey is a fuckin' Bawss in this movie....
The movie was nominated for eleven Academy Awards. Maximilian Schell won the award for Best Actor, and Abby Mann won in the Best Adapted Screenplay category. The remaining nominations were for Best Picture, Stanley Kramer for Best Director, Spencer Tracy for Best Actor, Montgomery Clift for Best Supporting Actor, Judy Garland for Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, Black-and-White, Best Cinematography, Black-and-White, Best Costume Design, Black-and-White, and Best Film Editing.[5] Stanley Kramer was given the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. This is one of the few times that a film had multiple entries in the same category (Tracy and Schell for Best Actor) and Schell was the first Best Actor winner to be billed fifth. Many of the big name actors who appeared in the film did so for a fraction of their usual salaries because they believed in the social importance of the project.
Here's The Full Movie,

Inherit the Wind is also pretty damn Good. About teaching evolution in school.

"Can't you understand? That if you take a law like evolution and you make it a crime to teach it in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools? And tomorrow you may make it a crime to read about it. And soon you may ban books and newspapers. And then you may turn Catholic against Protestant, and Protestant against Protestant, and try to foist your own religion upon the mind of man. If you can do one, you can do the other. Because fanaticism and ignorance is forever busy, and needs feeding. And soon, your Honor, with banners flying and with drums beating we'll be marching backward, BACKWARD, through the glorious ages of that Sixteenth Century when bigots burned the man who dared bring enlightenment and intelligence to the human mind!"

Most of mine posted already but high up there is Key Largo
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7Go24Rd8o"]Key Largo - Movie Trailer - YouTube[/ame]
Amazing how intense some of the flicks were back then with zero special effects.
Started to also post "African Queen" with Bogey and Hepburn but miss-remembered it as black and white. So Maltese Falcon.
My father has a collection of b&w TV movies they use to play on Sunday afternoons when he was a kid. Lots of tarzan but the best were these white hunter explorers in Africa that would get chased by the natives. There is some fucking sick torture stuff in those old movies that would make you cringe. Stuff like taking two palm trees and bending them over under extreme tension. Tying a guy upside down one leg on each tree. Then cutting the rope. Trees go to straighten and rip him apart in two pieces. Or biblical stuff where they showed people getting eaten by lions or eyes burned out. Yeah . . . good times.
