I like them...BUT i am confused at your choice of picture....The Wizard of Oz was only black and White at the beginning and the end....the bulk of the movie is shot in technicolour

There's nothing like the OLD CLASSICS ..
true talent .. to lead one's imagination into the plot, story .. scene ..
NO Need for cgi .. no need for flash/bang ..

This is what I PREFER for entertainment

(Just wish Hollywood will STOP RUINING The old classics with their endless (and horrifically awful) remakes)

It depends on the movie. "To Kill a Mockingbird," for instance, I think would lose a lot of meaning if it were colored. And Casablanca...

They are mostly good wholesome movies, and a few about crooks, but good always wins out.

i looked at the demographics and i was surprised to see that most people around my age(18-24) actually liked black and white movies,while the biggest per cent in older generations voted ''no''.in fact as the age was getting older the ''no'' bar was getting bigger. i thought it whould be the other way around................interes...

I don't like them when they first start, but after I've watched for 10 or 15 minutes and my eyes adjust to seeing no color I'm okay with it. My wife says it's so natural watching in black and white, and I always ask her, have you ever actually seen the world around you without color? So it's not natural at all for our eyes to see that way, unless your color blind.

They bore the Hell out of me!! But it's not the being black & white part that bores me, but rather the fact that I find movies made "back then" so dull...the storylines from that era just don't interest or appeal to me in the slightest...eg "Breakfast at Tiffany's" (although it was colored with Technicolor), just bored the crap out of me & I never got the point of it, to be honest...& it must be an American thing to like "The Three Stooges" today as well, because I don't know anyone who likes it "down here", including me!!

in what era?? Black and white spans 100 plus years and all genres, the stooges to Shakespeare.
Don't answer, I am making fun of you for thinking you are smart.

reply
Matt Fo... to addie 2012/08/31 10:16:27

They ALL bore me, & I'll respond to your comment if I like, as you did to mine!!

And how am I "thinking I'm smart" by simply voicing my opinion?! How does it hurt you in any way whatsoever?!!

I NEVER look for arguments upon this site, & you won't get one from me...but I really don't get what I wrote in my previous email that could offend ANYONE in any way!!!

Sorta kinda. I'm very picky with movies in general, but one of my favorite movies that happens to be in black and white is 12 Angry Men.

The photography is more difficult. Lighting and shading are works of art. Color is easy; just flood the area with light. Black-N-white is more difficult and takes talent.

Yes, the original Wizard Of Oz...it was really ahead of its time--very contraversial ! " It's a Wonderful Life" is a good example of a perfect movie in B&W;.

Depends on which one. I don't seek them out, but I will watch it if it good or a classic.

I prefer color movies. B&W; movies always have me wondering about some of the details. And if a color is mentioned, I'm thinking "How the hell am I supposed to know what they are talking about".

Yeah, that was priceless. The cinematography cannot be reproduced in any color film. The singing of Robert Mitchum in the distance..
