To be honest I was quite surprised to find out the original Blob was colour, but I decided to leave it on the list. The mind plays funny games with us (or mine does anyway).
This question comes about as my really enjoying The Thing, finding out it had an earlier version, and then finding i enjoyed that version more and for different reasons.
Heresy!
Now I have that off my chest…
I’d love to branch out and watch more monochrome movies with modem ties.
The Fly - I have a boxset of all the various Fly films.
I Am Legend adaptations - The Last Man on Earth (B&W), Omega Man, and I Am Legend (as well as it’s mockbuster I Am Omega). The novel inspiring:
Night of the Living Dead - as it’s public domain anyone can remake it and they have (few of which are worth watching). A more interesting remake is the Dawn of the Dead one, although the original is in colour.
Nosferatu and Nosferatu the Vampyre but I’d also throw in Shadow of the Vampire about the making of Nosferatu.
The Blob - although the original was in colour.
And any number of Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman films.
Isn’t one of the chief selling points of the Fediverse that you can’t be censored because there’s always some instance that will welcome you? Another USP is that the rest of us don’t have to read it if we don’t want to.
You get freedom of speech and we get freedom from that speech (assuming it’s objectionable, and I have yet to see one of these posts where some complains about being stopped from posting funny cat memes).
They are reprinting them at the moment so don’t rule it out but it’s a relatively expensive undertaking and so it’s unlikely that they’d splash out on Legends material unless they sell well. Eventually AI will bang these out I suppose.
