i think the old black n white films should be left alone i think the idea of turning such classic films for example the earth vs the flyng saucers into colour is just a bad idea just think of how the classic 1933 picture of king kong would be like in colour. i think the colourisation in these pictures only ruins the picture and the decade they first came out in

No, not at all. Peter Jackson’s version of King Kong was three-hours worth of crap. When they make a colorized version of these films, they lose something in the process.
No, I don’t. They are classics - leave them as such.
I agree, you’re talking about turning the original black and white into color right. So yeah i agree. I loved the older grainier version of Wizard of Oz because it looked real. Now seeing the colored part of the movie on dvd, it’s obvious they were on a set in a big warehouse. Some shots I can make out the corners of the roof.
Now some peopel I see are confused with your question, if you are referring to remaking and doing new versions of them now then i disagree, i liked King Kong though I can see how people thought of it as ******.
They’re doing the original WolfMan and I saw the new teaser picture in Entertainment Weekly with Vinnicio Del Toro or whatever his name is and that picture LOOKS WICKED. but i don’t know what they’re gonna do with it. He’s gonna have to be a more vicous savage wolfman so PG-13 rating or R rating
I’m a big b/w fan. Classic horror flicks, and especially film noir mysteries depended on light and shadow for mood, and using shadow for depth has become a lost art. King Kong wasn’t just a classic “horror” movie. The special effects and camera techniques were groundbreaking. The camera developed for King Kong (by Ray Harryhausen) was a piece of technology that moved filmaking in a whole new direction. Until then, you were just telling a story. After King Kong, you were entertained by not just the story, but the way it was put on film. In my opinion, KONG was the moment that film became art.
