Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Are some movies better in B&W and non HD?

....or would you rather watch 'Elephant Man' in HD and color than B&W and non HD?

Personally my feeling is that some movies are better in B&W and/or non-HD

Other examples being 'Persona', 'Seventh Seal', etc. My view is that ultra detailed views of (such as sweats, pimples, birth marks) or ultra vibrant color are distracting in certain kind of movies.

In fact, I read that one of the principal duties of the make up artists is to smooth over or disguise some prominent features of actors/actresses so that it won't distract the audience.
