Best Black and White movie clips

Do any old B & W movie clips stand out in your mind as inspirational moments, powerful artistic expression, or just plain cool?

Well lets show a few of them off, shall we? Post a link so we can all see them.
Ill start. This one is from the movie "Casablanca" with Humphrey Bogart and Ingred Bergman...


I really liked that one. So, anybody else got any favorites?

Ok...I will start out with an American one: All Quiet on the Western Front

Then there is the terrifying (but superbly cinematographic) propaganda film by Leni Riefenstahl, Triumph of the Will

And most all of the British Pathe newsreels of WWII are priceless.

Citizen Kane. The scene where Kane tears apart his wife's room after she leaves him, then abruptly stops when he gazes upon the snowglobe, slowly picks it up and murmurs "Rosebud..."
