Tim and Dan pretty much hit the nail on the head. We've the gothic ambience, shadows, moodiness, perfect as is, well, preferrably if remastered with decent b&w and sound...but color for these revered Universal classics? No way. Who can eg contemplate Bride of Frankenstein in color.(Well, I won't rule it out completely...somebody out there might be for it.)

Dan had a good point with Babes in Toyland...this looks decent colorized, and especially for the kids. I must say some of the newer horror movies look better in color, eg, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with DeNiro as the monster....kind of a violent movie, in color but seems right for this particular flick.

Science Fiction "stuff"...I agree with Tim. Many look good in color. Moreover, some might be suitable for a colorization process. There's this Ray Harryhausen group and they've colorized some movies nicely...even some oldies. The classic "H.G. Wells' Things to Come" with Raymond Massey comes to mind...nicely done for a vintage film. Earth vs. the Flying Saucers was another. Would be nice if this group did Flash Gordon.

We can ramble on and on about colorization and other matters, but seems studios are gonna do as they please. I'm at least trying to get 'em to encode dvds with closed captioning. Our hearing often deteriorates with age, and seems studios aren't all that concerned about cc. I'm not optimistic based on past experiences.
