Definitely, I love the old Crosby and Hope movies. They're hilarious, as well as Dean Martin and Jerry Louis; I'm just 14 but they're the best movies, way better then colour.

they are very unique and entertaining. Laurence Olivier, Irene Dunne, Cary Grant are a few of my favorites.

B&W movies have a certain charm to them that we can't escape since we've all grown up on color film. The moment you see that a movie isn't color you immediately start paying attention in a different way than you do when it's color. The b&w indicates that it's different and from long ago and something special that doesn't exist these days. This prejudices your mind into thinking that all the old black and white movies have some special, magical charm that doesn't exist any more. In reality, there were just as many bad movies made back then as there are now. It's just that 40 or 50 years down the road we only remember the amazing ones from the b&w era so we feel like *everything* back then was just perfect and we ignore all the fluff and trash from that era. The same thing will happen in 2048 when everyone remembers "No Country For Old Men" and nobody has ever heard of "Bring It On 12: Just Show Them Your Panties Already."

Well, I don't really judge a movie by its color, but I am a major classic movie freak. I'm president of the school's classic movie club and I'm watching TCM as often as possible.

I do believe that many black and white films have a very unique style about them. Much more attention is paid to shadows and the likewise, which isn't really done in color films. But I mean, I love and hate some black and white films just as I love and hate some color films.
