There's a generation of children who don't like black and white movies. There's a level of impatience or intolerance now.
Kids today don't watch a black and white movie.
The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day.
That's all gone, now, the old, Hollywood.
I do think there's not enough film history being taught and appreciated. Maybe it's being taught, but I've heard from professors that young kids don't want to look at black-and-white movies. And that's 85 years of film history, with masterpiece after masterpiece.
I'm a big fan of old Hollywood.
I came in on the tail end of the old school of Hollywood.
If you start watching the oldies, you're in trouble. I feel ancient if "Grand Hotel" or "The Bride Wore Red" comes on. I have a sneaking regard for "Mildred Pierce", but the others do nothing for me.
I always felt that I was born in the wrong era. I wanted to be friends with John Garfield, for instance.
Chaplin was my idol. I remember watching those movies at this little theater in Woodstock, N.Y., when I was probably 6 and laughing so hard at the surprises, like Keaton suddenly being dragged by a streetcar.
I'm a Turner Classic Movies guy. That's it. I'd much rather sit here and watch an oldie than anything new.
I loved old movies as a kid, so I always watched old movies.
I like a lot of classic movies, like, for example, 'Citizen Kane', James Dean movies, etc, etc.
I love old movies. The '40s theatre pace is fantastic.
I would loathe to work on modern films.
I'm totally devoted to '30s cinema.
If it makes you feel any better, you’re not as bad as Keith. He was here earlier today and was so nervous, he literally kept looking over his shoulder.” Lee paused thoughtfully. “I think it might have been because Adrian kept laughing like a mad scientist at those old black-and-white movies he was watching.
My mom loved the old black-and-white films.
The other two things are... well, I had a huge appetite for old black and white movies on BBC 2. At the weekends they used to run matinees, and the more romantic the better.
Entertainment came out of this thing called a television, and it was gray. Most of the films that we saw at the cinema were black and white. It was a gray world. And music somehow was in color.
I got married to Chris Sarandon, who was a graduate student, and he knew everything at that point, I thought, because he was older. He introduced me to poetry and black-and-white movies.
I love the full-on Hollywood glamour of the 1930s and '40s.
It goes back to a style of moviemaking I remember seeing as a child, in movies like The Man With The Golden Arm, which I think was shot all on a sound stage.
Since I am from Spain, once the morning has gone, I like to take a nap while falling asleep to black and white movies. It feels less lonely. There is a comfort in hearing their voices, like when you're a child and your mother tells you a story before bedtime.
