I don't think Schindler's List qualifies as a black-and-white film because the opening and closing scenes are in colour. A year or two ago, we played a game of Scene It at Christmas and the question of which was the last B&W film to win the Best Picture Oscar came up and I said The Apartment. The answer on the card was Schindler's List but I argued it wasn't because of the colour sequences so my parents gave me the point!
The Apartment is a wonderful film: funny, touching and with great performances across the board.
