It may be that color distracts, or that B&W is easier to manipulate by the director/cinematographer, I don't know. But there are many movies that I can't imagine being as good in color.

Follow Ups:
and vintage B & W negatives contained silver, which made for beautiful gradations of visual tone. "Modern" (post 1970's) B & W film uses different dyes which eliminate most of the silver; and aren't anywhere near as good as a result. I think many of Bogarts films would look terrible in Color!
