  Both formats have perfect place in Universe, it is obvisouly all about how it is done. Otherwise it is like pitting sculpture against painting, red wine against white, poetry against prose...

  I see no advantage to either format, and no disadvantage to either. Color film does not irritate me if that is good film.

    Nobody gonna deny that. Still there are some preference, for example some time I prefer a white for a certain meal.
    As for photographed portrait I prefers B & W.

    Could you imagine The Seven Samourai in colour?
    Or M?

    Well just a question of habit...But I think B&W having a more romantic charm.
    The point is art is illusion, and what is more truth than the un-truth...

    • Totally agree, I refused to watch The Third Man in color... - Misael 20:20:44 02/21/06 (1)

      much more in owning one.I think its up to the director preference, although Charles Chaplin and Alfred Hitchcock resisted until they gave in to pressure. I enjoy watching Notorious and Psycho in bw, and enjoy Rear Window and North by Northwest in color.

  Can make downtown LA in the middle of summer look like Poland in the middle of winter.

  I agree and own many black and white films. Just last night I watched "Intermezzo" and "Lifeboat" My ISF guru even calibrated a special seperate gray scale at 5400 K for my black and white material.

    Lifeboat...I had it on LD back then, but the new DVD is excellent, a big improvement, don´t you think?
    Intemezzo? The one with Lesly Howard?
    Somehow, B&W has a more " romantic " touch...

      My "Lifeboat" is on laserdisc so I haven't seen the DVD. Yes, "Intermezzo" features Leslie Howard, who has an affair with Ungrid Bergman in this, her first film.

  Memorable modern b&w films for me are Lynch's 'Eraserhead, all of Jarmusch's b&w and 'Following' Chris Nolan's second film, which is VERY good, though violent...
  I've probably missed a bunch of others?

    It was more speaking in a general terms. I sorely miss this great B & W pictures and films.
