This may seem like an odd question, but does anyone have a complete list of all the black and white films the studios have released on blu-ray?

Paramount released It's a Wonderful Life, and one of their releases of The Ten Commandments included the silent version on blu. That seems to be it from them.

There might be more from Sony, but those were the only three I could come up with off the top of my head.

It's interesting to hear Ray Harryhausen--on at least one of the commentary tracks to this set--exclaim several times how impressed and delighted he is by the colorized versions included on the BDs. I guess innovative, revolutionary stop-motion animators are not conservatives when it comes to black and white photography.

List of pre-90s US Blu releases, divided by decade. Obviously, the pre-70s sections contain a lot of B&W films.
