<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 25659943, member: 105571&quot;]I agree with your comments re coins but also movies.&nbsp; I remember about 18 years ago talking to my son&#039;s girlfriend about Dr. Strangelove and of course she&#039;d never heard of it.&nbsp; I warned her it was in B&amp;W but we watched it together and she let me annotate some things about the Cold War.&nbsp; She seemed to be engrossed and the B&amp;W didn&#039;t bother her.&nbsp; Of course she could have just been patronizing her b&#039;friend&#039;s dad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other classic B&amp;W&#039;s like The Third Man and Casablanca just wouldn&#039;t be the same in color, particularly The Third Man which IMHO is an absolute masterpiece.</p><p><br /></p><p>The original Cape Fear, a noir thriller in B&amp;W was a great movie.&nbsp; The remake was in color and it was just as good if better in some ways but it was a bit of a different movie from the original.</p><p><br /></p><p>And of course, there are movies that don&#039;t suffer from being colorized because their original &quot;artistry&quot; didn&#039;t depend on the unique possibilities attendant with B&amp;W filmmaking.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
