I had to take a minute to try and figure out if you were serious or not there. People who get hung up on whether a film is color or black and white just confuse me to no end. Why does it matter? Neglecting more than half a century of film entertainment solely because it's not in color just doesn't make sense.
Besides, B&W filmmaking offers a hugely different atmosphere in a film than color does. Without color at their disposal, directors were forced to be extremely creative with lighting and framing to convey the mood they're trying for. And on top of that, there are no big-budget special effects to distract audiences, so older films have to rely on actual well-written stories and well-developed characters to keep the audience entertained. You wouldn't think that would seem so bad to Adventure fans, would you?
