There was an interesting mixture of black and white and color in the film "Zentropa," which came out in, I believe, 1990. The juxtaposition of the two media really created a spectacular effect. I recommend it if you are really interested in the intermittent use of color and black and white (although I recall that much of it was in B&W).
