- WalterBright 4y agoI watch old ones, too, but always by myself. Nobody else wants to. It's always "eww, black and white!" Often they're right. They'd be much more watchable with an AI that could sharpen the picture and colorize it.
- vmladenov 4y agoWatched it with the family! Was a hit Hard disagree on the colorization bit. I don’t see how color would improve some thing like Psycho or Citizen Kane
- WalterBright 4y agoNice!
- the_only_law 4y agoI don’t know. Sometimes poor contrast black and white film does really well for the atmosphere/vibe/whatever the hell you want to call it.
- WalterBright 4y ago"Sometimes" is the right word. Usually, it's just inferior. B+W was used for artistic purposes only rarely, the rest of the time it was because it was cheap and easy.
- mixmastamyk 4y agoA kid in this house has started an appreciation for the original Twilight Zone, and enjoyed Casablanca before that. Gotta start early I guess. TV is scarce in this house, which promotes reading and feeling lucky to see a great movie, no matter the era.
- gibspaulding 4y agoI think it'd take more than picture quality to make classic films accessible. Acting styles and pacing especially have changed a ton since the b&w era. It's not to say they're not good, but they're a bit of an acquired taste.
