Doesn't matter, a good film is a good film.

I love black and white films and television. Of course it doesn't mean the films will be automatically good, but black and white just looks cooler to me.
I really wish more modern filmmakers would do black and white films once in awhile. I believe Tarantino probably has a GREAT black and white in him, it just hasn't happened yet.

I love black and white film. It seems to give gravitas to even silly films. Color can turn me off.

I love a monochrome. It can be very effective when used to signify nostalgia or an important event from the past. The Lighting can also look much more accentuated in monochrome (Raging Bull). These are all recent black and white films that are worth checking out:
The Man Who wasn't there
Polytechnique
Ida
Roma
City of Life and Death
The Lighthouse
Nebraska
Werckmeister Harmonies
Blu Jay
Hard to be a God
A Girl Walked Home Alone at Night
The Eyes of My Mother
Cold War
Frantz
Embrace of the Serpent

Not that I don't love plenty of color films and I certainly wouldn't want every film to be B&W but I do love the extra stylistic barrier it adds to a film and when done well can be very effective.

I believe Tarantino probably has a GREAT black and white in him, it just hasn't happened yet. I think Reservoir Dogs was originally planned to be in black and white when the budget was a lot lower. I would have liked to have seen that and would like to see him tackle B&W in the future...we may only have one more chance.

One of my favorite formats is black and white shot films in one of the widescreen processes of the 1950s and 1960s.

It doesn't matter to me how a film was filmed. Heck, Some Like It Hot is in B & W and it's widely regarded as one of the funniest comedies ever made.

I voted "Love 'Em" but it is not just because of black and white but because I so greatly prefer the films of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to later movies.

I don't care whether a film is black and white or colour, it doesn't affect my enjoyment. A majority of my favourite films are black and white but that's not because they are black and white, I would like them just as much if they were colour.

It's a wonderful filmmaking aesthetic. Some topics told in movies like poverty and war can look better when filmed in black-and-white since it captures the despair and grit of our harsh reality.
