...missing out on some of the greatest films of all time: Citizen Kane, Rules of the Game, M, The Lady Eve, The Third Man, Modern Times, Beauty & The Beast, My Darling Clementine, The 39 Steps, The Passion of Joan of Arc, Alexander Nevsky, Seven Samurai, Treasure of Sierra Madre, The General, Seventh Seal, Dawn Patrol, The Gold Rush, On the Waterfront, The Apartment, Tokyo Story, Sullivan's Travels, Notorious, Casablanca, the Italian realists...plus fun stuff like Frankenstein, Cat People, King Kong, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Sunset Boulevard, Fred and Ginger musicals, the Marx brothers, the Thin Man series, on and on and on. Most movies before the fifties , in fact. Not to mention more recent films like The Last Picture Show, Raging Bull, Manhatten, Dr. Stranglelove...and yes, German expressionism and film noir.Not like black and white??? It's just too *absurd*!
Follow Ups:
are missing out on, as B&W swings throughout the entire spectrum

sad. - AH
