color or black and white?

Do you prefer color...




...or black and white movies?

I like the visual poetry in motion of colored pictures. But, with that said, I enjoy the actors in black and white-they seem to be their character a little more fully since they couldn't rely on the background to make up the difference.

Why does everything have to be about color--black and white? Underneath we're all people.

That said, I think it entirely depends on the movie. Musicals are probably better in color. Character pieces and stories driven by dialogue are just in black and white. Roman Holiday would have been better in color because Rome itself was so important to the film, Rear Window would have been just as good in black and white.

I have to agree with Scott's second comment ;)
