What are your thoughts on colourizing old B&W movies?.

I'm not a fan.

It just isn't right.

I think it’s a horrible idea. The colorized movies I’ve seen look ridiculous.
I’m not sure what the point is. If their being in B&W was a problem, most folks wouldn’t watch them.
@MethDozer When I was a kid, most tv shows were in B&W, including many cartoons. I certainly didn’t enjoy them any less. 😉

@bijouxbroussard Twilight Zone is a perfect example of something that benefited from B&W.
@MethDozer Absolutely. It was perfect and lent itself to the spookiness. Same with “One Step Beyond”, “The Outer Limits”, “Thriller”. Remakes couldn’t hold a candle to them.

Some are ok but generally I think it takes something from it.

Filming in black and white was actually an art form in itself, it took skill and creativity (example: the red fake blood in Hitchcock's Psycho didn't look right on film so they actually used chocolate syrup). Black and white is classic and colorizing them to appeal to modern audiences just ruins them in me opinion.

Totally unnecessary

@Dionysus agreed.
Just NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's an abomination. Like chicken on pizza and the way the Brits and Chinooks insist on spelling some words! Ya'll best tighten up soon, or there will be tariffs imposed ! I'm serious!
@ CountProgula- Thanks for having a sense of humor! ( or at least being a good sport about what I consider humor.....)

I don't really care for it.
I say leave them alone.

I do not approve. The cinematography was done with black and white in mind and is compromised when colorized.
