List of black-and-white films produced since 1970
Since the 1970s, fiction feature films 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.[1][2]
Note: This list does not include short films, documentaries, or films with black-and-white footage lasting less than 5 minutes.
