Table of Contents[edit]

Now I've added the Category:Black-and-white films tag to lots of films, this category has now expanded. How do I add a table of contents on the category page so I can, for example, click straight onto all the B&W films starting with the letter R? -- Lugnuts 14:16, 1 Sept 2006

Ahh, sussed it! -- Lugnuts

Defintion crieteria[edit]

Does The Wizard of Oz qualify as black-and-white since part of the film is only black-and-white, or does the film have to contain no color at any point?John Pack Lambert (talk) 05:19, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As per the category page - "For films presented entirely in black-and-white or color tinted black and white and are not colourized", so no for WoO. Lugnuts (talk) 06:38, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Purposefully black-and-white films of the color era[edit]

Should we distinguish "purposefully black-and-white films of the color era" from films made during the black and white era. That way we would distinguish "Raging Bull" and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and "Young Frankenstein" from the movies of Chaplin. Some directors would have clung to B+W well into the color era, just like some directors cling to film in the digital era. Those films would be excluded unless the director switched back from color to B+W again. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 12:34, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not quite what you're after, but there is this list. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 13:12, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
