The Coen Brothers made a b&w noir film recently called "The Man Who Wasn't There" with Billy Bob Thornton. It didn't get a wide release, probably because people don't appreciate black and white. It'a about a guy who never gets noticed, so he decides it could be a good thing when it comes to murder. The murder comes early in the film, and the rest of the film shows everything going wrong that could go wrong. It deserves to be seen.
