When I was in college I had the opportunity to see a 1st generation print of Red River on the big screen.

The cinematography was simply breathtaking.

Steven Soderbergh recut Raiders of the Lost Ark in black and white.

It really shows off how good the cinematography is.

His cut and rationale here

I saw a version of Caddyshack that was B&W and it was actually really good as well.  I was impressed with how it was shot--when it seems unremarkable watching the original cut.

My parents bought a 19" b&w portable and threw it up upstairs when we were kids and we watched everything b&w when mom & dad were watching stuff downstairs. Later when I was a young adult in a apt my grandma gave me another b&w portable TV with rabbit ears so I can watch the Bills games. Again, I watched everything in b&w back then. I have no b&w movie favorite as I always have preferred color.

The OP nailed it, but Rashomon is a solid choice.

If you're unfamiliar with Akira Kurosowa's work, there is a lot to look into.

The 7 Samurai was remade into The Magnificent 7
Yojimbo was remade into Last Man Standing, and was the inspiration for the Clint Eastwood "Man with No Name" movies (Fistful of Dollars, A Few Dollars More, The Good The Bad & The Ugly)
An effects mistake at the end of Sanjuro has been replicated in countless movies (especially anime).
The Hidden Fortress was paid homage by Star Wars: A New Hope in a scene for scene remake.

Gonna have to add to the Casablanca dogpile. Not just the best B&W film, but one of the best films ever. The fact it was filmed during the war, and before Operation Torch, makes it so much more poignant. But it's just a perfect movie, regardless.

Behold a Pale Horse

-is a 1964 American drama film directed by Fred Zinnemann and starring Gregory Peck, Omar Sharif and Anthony Quinn. The film is based on the 1961 novel Killing a Mouse on Sunday by Emeric Pressburger, which loosely details the life of the Spanish anarchist guerrilla Francesc Sabaté Llopart.

Kiss Me Deadly (1955)

One of the last of the film noir era and for me the best.

A nightmare journey with a little sci-fi and cold war paranoia added in.

Some artsy bullshit indie film done by some college chicks I used to know.

The girls were hot, naked, and doing weird exhibitionist shit and calling it “art.”
