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 whose majority of running time is in black-and-white or monochrome/sepia tone and made after the 1960s. 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, documentary films, or films with black and white footage lasting less than 30 seconds.
