What's your favorite B&W movie?
What's your favorite B&W movie?
To be or not to be? That is the point. - Harry Nilsson.
Dr. Strangelove!
Not that I know that many but my vote goes to:
Young Frankenstein
Runner up would be:
High Noon
Excluding silent ones; The Third Man, Dr. Strangelove, M, Der Blaue Engel, Brief Encounter.
I'm extremely intrigued about Citizen Kane and always was, but I somehow couldn't ever make up my mind.

Too many to mention. I like Digital Man's choice of Young Frankenstein. But then there's Schindler's List, Raging Bull, Cocteau's Beauty and the Beast, Casablanca...
Too many to list, as I said.

The OP states "the best" AND "your favorite". There's a difference.

================
Le Cave Se Rebiffe (with Gabin, Blier and Michel Audiard on dialogues)
La Dolce Vita
The Third Man
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
"Mirage"
Was "Blow Up" in b&w?
"The Bicycle Thief"
"Otto e mezzo"
"The 400 Blows"
Far too many to mention or to remember.
But lots of British comedies do spring to mind.
Like with albums, I have no single favorite or best film. There's just rows upon rows of CDs and DVDs on bookshelves.
