Good little story about Depp and Iggy pop here, it’s right towards the end:

And this 10 minute vignette with Tom Waits and Iggy Pop, I watched this a
few weeks ago, quite amusing:

Re:  B&W films:
My favorite:
"Raging Bull" was awe inspiring and it was sheer genius to shoot the film in
B & W for so many reasons.  Those fight scenes, the luminous platinum hair
of his young wife, and her subsequent bruises all stood out much more
distinctly and were more frightening as a result.  His descent into being a
sad hack nightclub entrepreneur ;) also was made more poignant because of B
& W.  Scorcese managed to make Jake LaMotta into a classic character because
of his direction.  Outstanding.
 
Loved "Young Frankenstein", and it was a very nice nod to Browning to film
it in the classic B & W.  "Dead Man" was excellent, in spite of Jim Jarmush
(sp) having a tendency to be pretentious, Johnny Depp being his usual very
pretty self but stumbling through the role (he only seems to be able to play
"himself").  Loved the cameo with Iggy Pop and the Native American guide.  A
great film.
