i have no issue with black & white movies and many of them used the black & white to enhance the story (ie: citizen kane, he used the shadows, etc).....i love love LOVE silent movies and was entirely enthralled through all like 600+ minutes of Les Vampires a French weekly short film from 1915/1916......(yes i watched it over several days).....Dr. Mabuse, The Strange Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Chaplin's movies---Modern Times could be released today and still be considered current, the melo-dramas of Gloria Swanson, Erich Von Stroheim's movies.....oh how i love the silent era!!!!
then the 30s thru 50s had many wonderful films also! and whereas i can make a sailor blush with my language, i prefer movies that don't insult my intelligence nor have gratuitous violence or sex.....the innuendo, the hint of suggestion---what is left to the viewer's imagination is far more powerful than anything that can be created on the screen, in my opinion.....
