re: .

If I made a top 200 movie list more than 1/2 would be black and white films.

Also one of those would be silent film.

Silent movies are good, but when sound hit it destroyed many actors.

Black and White sound films in many ways can not be equaled today, as there is no studio system, so many fought the system, and it hurt only the thousands who made a living in the studio system, when the actors finally beat the system.

Today's cgi off spring of the early movies are mostly action, action, action with little in the way of story and character creation, which is one reason you see the push into the comic book movies, as a long story line is in place and it only needs to be put to screen.

The cgi's for the most part are average at best and normally very sub par to the writing one saw from the late 20's-mid 60's movies.

Will we see a movie like Fitz Lang's M ever made as good as it was in 1931?
