The era of black and white movies is never to return, it was indeed a good time as the old stars were seen in classic action on the silver screen!

Those movies really were great. I enjoy them a lot more than most of the half-azz movies that come out today.

Well I am going to state the opposite as whilst the majority of movies are made in colour there are still hundreds of movies made each year which are made in black & white through choice. The reason being that sometimes a black & white movie can deliver more atmoshpere than a colour movie.

It's not just independant movie makers which choose to do this and can think of the top of my head that Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" was shot in Black & white as well as the Coen brothers "The Man who wasn't there" which were both main stream productions.

What I do believe will never return is the Hollwood magic. With so many movies being made these days that very few are anything but average and we are basically spoilt for choice. I also feel that the stars from the golden era of Hollywood had an air about them as if they were untouchable where as today modern stars lack that element.

Hi Click, remember the black and white scenes incorporated into my favourite film 'Once Upon a Time in America'. They created such atmosphere.

I agree - I love the old black and white movies. You concentrated more on the acting then the colors and scenery.

Hi dhwanbm, I love the old back and white movies, in fact everything I saw was in black and white for many years as I was quite attached to my black and white TV even when everyone had moved on to colour. But the old stars had such panache and style, Leslie Howard, Vivien Leigh, Greta Garbo, they had real screen presence. How could I have forgotten to mention Bette Davis. Just wonderful.
