  There have been superb black and white films in times past, they truly were great days, when art seemed to take precedence over profit. Some of the greats Howard has already mentioned..Sunset Boulevard for example which is probably one of the greatest films ever, a literary giant in film. in that I mean that they filmed it as a book, like they did with so many stories then. Yes indeed films of the book, and that method worked very well.
  
  How about The Third Man for another great film..almost every moody shot a work of art. There have been quite a few.
  
  But what of the modern age. I dunno...they are all fairly dismal, but I readily admit that this might be a generation thing. They are showing adverts on TV for a new movie called The Immortals I think its called. It doesnt appeal. All thick eared CGI gung ho violence with no relevence at all as soon as the bloody thing stops rolling. Once you re-visit the street outside the cinema you dont even remember it. More low level violent fodder for the consumer age....and I havent even seen it...but you just know...dont you.
