I'll take this thread to plug my totally subjective hare brain theory/bias. I've noticed that I like movies that are shot with the blue filter (or atleast thats what I call it) - everything has a tinge of blue (the filters are almost closer to blue-grey; something like #374358). For some reason, I have noticed that, to me, they also turn out to good movies. Example would be Margin Call[0] (though in some scenes the blue is mixed with a golden hue which actually makes it look nicer); another one is The Grey[1].

It wasn't shot with a blue filter. It was graded in post to have that look. Before RAW, it wasn't unheard of to have a "blue filter" from shooting with the wrong white balance setting, but it was a totally different blue filter look.

Certain camera/sensors and lens have distinctive visual aesthetics and also in the colour grading process, and much of it is a mix of art and science and the artistic vision of colour is embedded in the creative and technical aspects of film making from sets to costumes to what camera sensors and optics combination look like and how to change or enhance it in post production.
