Hmmm, I know some of you will disagree with me when I say that when you put color into something that should not have color only takes away from the experience. What I mean is, I often Watch very old movies most of which are black, and white, and have been filmed back between the years of 1920, and 1930's. I enjoy them very much because they are originals, unspoiled, and even their flaws are works of art.

I have seen those movies processed to allow for color, and to me they lost all of it's character, the films no longer have the same feeling, they lost all of it's original atmosphere.

Take "Nosferatu". I have the original, and it's simply beautiful. The atmosphere is chilling, and the shadows are a work of art in themselves.

I have seen it put to color, and it destroyed it's original taste, it totally lost it's atmosphere. For me they destroyed that movie by tampering with it.

Like I said, I know there will be those who will disagree.
