Yeah, but I think it's that modern movies are just more polished than the old stuff in general. like there is a far higher volume of modern movies that stand out than ones from pre-1960's, at least if you ask me. or look at it this way... ask a random person whether they like A)Pre-1960's or B)Post-1960's movies more and I am almost certain the vast majority would prefer Post-1960's. I would guesstimate 80%+ of people would choose Option B (i.e. Post-1960's). if it's not AT LEAST 70%+ I would be quite surprised even though I think it's more in the 80%+ range would side with Post-1960's.
but like I said before... something about pre-1960's movies start to become quite a bit different overall than movies over say the last 30-40 years or so. I think it's something to do with the emotion etc that modern movies have that's pretty much missing from the old days and just the all around style/visuals etc. I can't quite put my finger on all of the details though but it's something to do with that as I can't really say it's a acting problem, at least not for the most part.
so I think when you said... "I've grown so accustomed to modern films" ; probably has something to do with what I was saying in that modern movies are more polished in general (in how they are made/style/emotion etc) and it can be a rather abrupt change (in a negative way) going back to pre-1960's movies etc. plus, a lack of color I would imagine has a negative effect on most movies especially if they are lacking in other areas that a modern movie typically does better. but I can't outright write of a movie off for being black-and-white.
p.s. I am not suggesting that 1960 is amazing and 1959 is crap, but that it's just a general observation I noticed as if you have to draw a line, in terms of decades, that's pretty much my cut off point in that I sort of see the 1960's as the beginning of more modern movies even though I would say roughly the 1980's (maybe 1970's on some level) more obviously resembles today's movies. so while I don't have a exact cut off point on this sort of stuff that's roughly how I see things in terms of movies.
Not so much an aversion to black and white films, but the feeling that I've grown so accustomed to modern films that it's difficult for me to get into classic films I've never seen before.
