A lot of the best older movies are black and white.. why do you want to miss out? Having said that, have you watched any Powell and Pressburger? Plenty of technicolor there.

odd request, if you can't handle a film that isn't in color you probably aren't ready for the classics, kid
>>
>>71768458
how is it an odd request?There are plenty of movies that are from 50s,60s,70s that are colorful.Plus don't think if the movie is black-and-white it makes it automatically good and increase your IQ,there are shitty colorless movies too.

It is a bit of an odd request, but hey it's like if you said "movies in german" or "movies shot in china" or shit like that. So it's still a legit request imo.

No matter what is suggested you still will watch nothing.

>>71769171
Of course there are.. there are indeed loads of great old colour movies and lots of bad old black and white movies, but a lot of the best movies back then were made in black and white, and you are severely limiting yourself if you don't want to watch them. It's your loss really.

Nobody is trying to stop him, in fact most of my favourite movies were probably shot in technicolor. It's just a shame that people limit the pool of good films they can watch that's all.

noone likes everything. you don't either. I bet you don't watch Béla Tarr. Or Segundo de Chomón. There's always some weird shit that's outside of your reach. Everyone has their taste, and most people just watch that which fits their taste. I don't see nothing wrong with it. If it's not my taste I'll likely not enjoy it, so why watch it.

That's a ridiculous sentiment. If you like old hollywood colour movies, there's no reason that you wouldn't like old hollywood black and white movies. I actually have seen films by Bela Tarr, but even if you had named a director I haven't seen, I'd be open to watching something. I'm not talking down to you or anything, I just think it's a shame, there are some really really good movies you are missing out on.

In even slightly equating black and white movies with "out of reach" arthouse stuff like Tarr, you are the only one making the mistake of thinking that black and white movies are somehow more "elevated" than colour movies. No-one but an edgy avant-teen would claim that.

You fucktard I wasn't going on about black and white being more elevated, I myself watch tons of bw movies, I just said if some guy doesn't want to watch movies in bw there's no need to get sand in your fucking vagina.

oh ok. Nah I don't mind bw movies at all.
I do have a special love for early color films. There's even some color films produced in Nazi Germany in the early 40's. Some if them are huge productions shot in the later stages of the war. amazing stuff. Quality was far from par with Technicolor, but still breddy gud.
>>
>>71770178
I've never seen that film in full, I think I tried once but could never find it anywhere. But I have seen screenshots of the battle sequences, they look quite incredible, bigger even than something like Spartacus. It's quite amazing they could muster that number of extras and expense during wartime.

Adaptation of popular operetta into non-musical feature. Was actually finished editing after the war by east german DEFA. Star Johannes Heesters died in 2011 at the age of 108.

Since Heesters was a popular comedian all through his life this film got a better transfer. This is how Agfacolor looks properly restored (you can tell that Kolberg hasn't gotten a proper restoration and is slightly faded). Note the poor skin tone even with tons of makeup.

I guess I either didn't look very hard or looked before that came out. Did you ever see Fall of the Roman Empire btw? Now there's a film that's impressive spectacle-wise, a real shame there's not yet a proper blu-ray transfer available (to my knowledge), even the best version out at the moment is cropped a fair bit.

>>71771441
You're the epitome of the real, stuck-up, false elitist cancer that actually infects /tv/. You're complaining that somebody is asking about groundbreaking films on a board about television and film? Why don't you go fuck off to your DC vs Marvel threads so you can post Chris Evans laughing while alternating between cuck spam and kino spam.
>>
>>71771683
And here is the facebook/rabbit cancer, probably class of '16, responsible for the ever-growing deterioration of this board showing off his lovely defense of film discussion. OP and your kind show try r/flicks, they are a nice bunch there.
Elitism is lacking severely for years, so that's the result.
