List of black-and-white films produced since 1966

American film and television studios terminated production of black-and-white output in 1966 and, during the following two years, the rest of the world followed suit. At the start of the 1960s, transition to color proceeded slowly, with major studios continuing to release black-and-white films through 1965 and into 1966. Among the five Best Picture nominees at the 33rd Academy Awards in April 1961, two — Sons and Lovers and the winner, The Apartment, were black-and white. Two of the nominees in 1962 — The Hustler and Judgment at Nuremberg, were likewise black-and white. The pattern continued into 1963, with The Longest Day and To Kill a Mockingbird, into 1964, with America America and Lilies of the Field and into 1965, with Dr. Strangelove and Zorba the Greek.

At the 38th Academy Awards, held on April 18, 1966, the Best Picture winner (The Sound of Music) and one other nominee (Doctor Zhivago) were in color, but the remaining three nominees (Darling, Ship of Fools and A Thousand Clowns) were in black-and-white. However, at the 39th Academy Awards, held on April 10, 1967, the winner (A Man for All Seasons) and three other nominees (Alfie, The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming and The Sand Pebbles) were in color and only one nominee (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) was in black-and-white.

By the 40th Academy Awards, held on April 10, 1968, not only were the winner (In the Heat of the Night) and all four of the other nominees (Bonnie and Clyde, Doctor Dolittle, The Graduate and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner) in color but, because studios were no longer producing black-and-white films, the awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design were merged into single categories rather than having a distinction between color and monochrome.[1]

Transition edit

The transition to color started in earnest when NBC announced in May 1963 that a large majority of its 1964–65 TV season would be in color.[2] By late September 1964, the move to potential all-color programming was being seen as successful[3] and, on March 8, 1965, NBC confirmed that its 1965–66 season will be almost entirely in color.[4] Three months later, on June 17, CBS, which had been limiting its color programming to only occasional specials, sent out a bulletin that it was preparing to broadcast at least 50 percent of its 1965–66 primetime programming in color.[5][6]

The move of American TV to color reached its final phase in February 1966 when the third network, ABC, announced plans for its 1966–67 season to be almost entirely in color.[7] Since the premiere of NBC Saturday Night at the Movies in September 1961, post-1948 major studio feature films gained a dominant foothold in primetime American TV and, by the mid-1960s, feature films were being broadcast by all three networks in prime time on a nearly-daily basis. Although many of those films were in black-and-white, the ones that were presented in color on NBC, had been singled out for special promotion as "broadcast in living color".

In the aftermath of ABC's announcement, studios quickly surmised that only the color features in their film library will have TV broadcast value and stopped production of black-and-white films. Other than a very small number of major films that the studios were willing to publicize — The Fortune Cookie, Is Paris Burning?, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? — completed or nearly completed black-and-white features were put into perfunctory release, but features that had been only partially completed were halted and ordered to restart in color. A similar situation had occurred 37 years earlier, in 1929, when studios stopped production on mid-completion silent films and ordered the addition of dialogue.[8]

Since the 1970s, fiction feature films around the world have been filmed almost exclusively in color. Some films after the transition to color are occasionally presented in black-and-white for budgetary or stylistic reasons. This is a list of notable feature films made after the 1960s that have a significant amount of their running time in black-and-white or monochrome/sepia tone. Many modern black-and-white films are shot in color and converted in post-production.[9][10]

Note: This list does not include short films, documentaries, or films with black-and-white footage lasting less than 5 minutes.

American film and television studios terminated production of black and white output in 1966 and during the following two years the rest of the world followed suit At the start of the 1960s transition to color proceeded slowly with major studios continuing to release black and white films through 1965 and into 1966 Among the five Best Picture nominees at the 33rd Academy Awards in April 1961 two Sons and Lovers and the winner The Apartment were black and white Two of the nominees in 1962 The Hustler and Judgment at Nuremberg were likewise black and white The pattern continued into 1963 with The Longest Day and To Kill a Mockingbird into 1964 with America America and Lilies of the Field and into 1965 with Dr Strangelove and Zorba the Greek At the 38th Academy Awards held on April 18 1966 the Best Picture winner The Sound of Music and one other nominee Doctor Zhivago were in color but the remaining three nominees Darling Ship of Fools and A Thousand Clowns were in black and white However at the 39th Academy Awards held on April 10 1967 the winner A Man for All Seasons and three other nominees Alfie The Russians Are Coming the Russians Are Coming and The Sand Pebbles were in color and only one nominee Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf was in black and white By the 40th Academy Awards held on April 10 1968 not only were the winner In the Heat of the Night and all four of the other nominees Bonnie and Clyde Doctor Dolittle The Graduate and Guess Who s Coming to Dinner in color but because studios were no longer producing black and white films the awards for Best Cinematography Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design were merged into single categories rather than having a distinction between color and monochrome 1 Contents 1 Transition 2 1966 1969 3 1970s 4

transition to color started in earnest when NBC announced in May 1963 that a large majority of its 1964 65 TV season would be in color 2 By late September 1964 the move to potential all color programming was being seen as successful 3 and on March 8 1965 NBC confirmed that its 1965 66 season will be almost entirely in color 4 Three months later on June 17 CBS which had been limiting its color programming to only occasional specials sent out a bulletin that it was preparing to broadcast at least 50 percent of its 1965 66 primetime programming in color 5 6 The move of American TV to color reached its final phase in February 1966 when the third network ABC announced plans for its 1966 67 season to be almost entirely in color 7 Since the premiere of NBC Saturday Night at the Movies in September 1961 post 1948 major studio feature films gained a dominant foothold in primetime American TV and by the mid 1960s feature films were being broadcast by all three networks in prime time on a nearly daily basis Although many of those films were in black and white the ones that were presented in color on NBC had been singled out for special promotion as broadcast in living color In the aftermath of ABC s announcement studios quickly surmised that only the color features in their film library will have TV broadcast value and stopped production of black and white films Other than a very small number of major films that the studios were willing to publicize The Fortune Cookie Is Paris Burning Who s Afraid of Virginia Woolf completed or nearly completed black and white features were put into perfunctory release but features that had been only partially completed were halted and ordered to restart in color A similar situation had occurred 37 years earlier in 1929 when studios stopped production on mid completion silent films and ordered the addition of dialogue 8 Since the 1970s fiction feature films around the world have been filmed almost exclusively in color Some films after the transition to color are occasionally presented in black and white for budgetary or stylistic reasons This is a list of notable feature films made after the 1960s that have a significant amount of their running time in black and white or monochrome sepia tone Many modern black and white films are shot in color and converted in post production 9 10 Note This list does not include short
