Erk technically that 2nd one isnt all B&w tho i guess.
Anton Corbijn is kind of an obvious inclusion herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IuMqzg19aI&feature=relatedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2e03_64xpF4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mABbjwhOVvc

Chris Isaak - "Wicked Game"

I know Anton Corbijn was previously mentioned, but Joy Division's "Atmosphere" must not be omitted from this thread.<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/PSh7444zG4Q?fs=1&;hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/PSh7444zG4Q?fs=1&;hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
