Oceans Eleven in B&W is nonsense. Vegas is all about the color.

Pulp Fiction in B&W is fantastic. Think of Jules and Vincent Vega in their black suits with white shirt. The coffee shop scene. It absolutely awesome. I will do this with the other films you list here. I've never thought of it, but Ocean's 11 would definitely be interesting in B&W. It has such rich colors and bright, flashy lighting. Remove all that and it would almost become a Noir heist flick. Thanks, man.

Mad Max II aka The Road Warrior looks just as good, or better, than the original in B/W. Miller himself noted this, when he saw the black-and-white print used by the composer to score the movie. He wanted to release it in B/W but was unable. However it gave him the idea to release Fury Road in B/W. This is largely due to Miller's style of showing not telling, and so much of the movie is in high contrast (I mean, the bad guys generally wear black, the good guys wear white!) and even the night scenes do not suffer. What happens though is the landscape becomes more stark and lifeless without the warm brown desert tones and brilliant blue skies.

Prety cool

The Batman sucks ass, complete shit show of a movie

The Rocketeer looks great in black and white. I think it actually makes the movie a little better.

Saw a video with Platoon in Black and White. It honestly looked so good.

Just a question what was the song used during the movie segment it’s really nice

There's at least one movie that is definitively better in black and white, and that's The Raid: Redemption. A movie with amazing cinematography, but pretty piss poor color grading since the whole movie is drowned in an ugly bluish tint, so taking that away and just focusing on the contrast adds to the beauty and intensity of the movie. Meanwhile The Raid 2 also has some pretty shots in black and white, but ultimately looks better normally since it has a much, much stronger command of color. By the way, I am aware that they recently released a 4K version of The Raid 1 with a new and much better color grade, but I haven't gotten a chance to watch that yet, so this comment is merely saying that the version of The Raid we've been stuck with for a decade is better in black and white.

It's interesting to see good movies converted to black and white. But for a true revelation. I got the old-ish. Not that well remembered Keanu Reeves Cyberpunk cult classic... Johnny Mnemonic... it recently had a black and white rerelease on bluray and holy heck. It made the movie so much more better than the original color version. I'm not sure why. But, with it, and films like Tetsuo, The Iron Man, Pi and others... I get the feeling that cyberpunk in particular is a genre that really looks great in grainy, high contrast, high key lit black and white. Now. Would I like to see The Matrix in black and white? Maybe. But only as an experiment. As that film did do very much with its color in the original version.

But they called Snyder "unnecesary" when he realised his black and white version of Justice League

BLADE RUNNER, the Tears In Rain monologue.... When you know, you know.😎❤

why is this not viral

This is awesome

This is so underrated!!

This is a very dramatic Chick fil a order. I think you have too much time on your hands.

The Crow 1994 looks fabulous in black and white. even when 95% of the screen is pitch black, the highlights off the wet faces, clothes and buildings make a striking statement.

Steven Soderberg originally wanted to film Ocean's 11 in Black and White. As did Peter Jackson with King Kong.

Wheres the appreciate for the use of color in movies?? Color is part of the palate too.

At the Roger Ebert film Festival a few years back, I was lucky enough to see a b+w screening of Guillermo Del Toro’s Nightmare Alley. It was a movie I had seen several times-for a variety of reasons-and liked it a good deal. In black-and-white, it was transcendent. I felt I was seeing it in the form for which had always been intended. Not sure I will ever watch the color version of it again.

When James Bond was rebooted with Casino Royale, the first part was in black and white. What about the whole film???

This actually cool your gonna be famous

I could never understand the obsession some people have with Knives out. The humor's terrible (puke jokes) the performances - nothing special and the overall plot is just mid.

The Batman's fotography is too dark for black & white. And then the warm colors used by Reeves in the movie are perfectly fuctional.

hi bryan

Somebody’s watching meeee 🎵

Great work mate! Where do you get those BW versions?

Just because The Lighthouse The Artist and Schindler's List were black and white doesn't mean every movie can be better sans color

Raiders of the Lost Ark Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade take place in the 1930's they can be in black and white still make sense

Just seems like a gimmick to me.

"made me feel like im observing the scenes from the outside" really funny how i've been trying to describe what black and white versions of new movies felt like to me for years and you perfectly summed it up in a single sentence

I actually think Schindler's List would have been better in color...

Blade is good too

You should cover Fury Road. It looks better in black and white, which is shocking for an action movie.

I put Oliver Stone's Platoon in black and white which felt like finding the 8th wonder of the world. You should also check out the Mad Max: Fury Road bw version when you get the chance.

Did you watch the movie?

Yesterday, I a similar thing. I watched a movie called „Schindlers List“ in black and white. I‘ve never noticed so many details in the original movie before.

Desaturating is not how black & white works. It just becomes black & grey, and the white parts kinda disappear. Those who watched Fury Road black & chrome would understand. Director really put the effort to make it good in monochromes

I don't understand why anybody likes knifes out so much

The Batman in black and white looks like one of the old 1940s serials and looks great!

No one should be watching color films in B&W if the only thing you're doing is desaturating the entire film with one click (except, I suppose, as a purely academic exercise). You touched on it a little with The Batman, but there's a lot more to making a conversion work than simply removing the color.

Bro this channel is great. Keep posting! I haven’t posted in over 7 years. I often wonder where I’d be if I kept it up! Have you ever seen The Mist? It’s completely different in B&W! Do you edit these whole movies too look like that? How did you watch these versions? I used to just drop the color all the way down through VLC Media player’s image adjuster. How do you go about it?

Cut the red wire ! What! Monochrome dude.

i watched The Killer finally and you could easily remove all the voice over, throw a good black and white grade over it and just use the film soundtrack and it would be an almost perfect modern day noir thriller Silent Film.

Nice to see a fellow man that appreciates blk and white

Did you see the B&W version of _Godzilla Minus One?_

Del Toro’s *NIGHTMARE ALLEY* was great in B&W I had the chance to see it in 35mm as well 🤩🤩

This is a great video. I went to see the Fury Road/Logan black and white double feature, and it was definitely worth it to experience those films in such a different context. I feel like stripping color out subtly changes the meaning of a film. Both those films depended on color for key plot points. Logan needed red to express the visceral experience, while Fury Road needed the green of one key shot to establish what the story's goal was. Without color, Logan became a more existential experience, with the character's deterioration being expressed more in texture than in color. And in Fury Road, the green place remained simply an idea, as we never actually see green. Fecundity needs green for us to feel its presence. I remember in The Big Sleep, the character Colonel Sternwood sits in a hothouse full of orchids when he meets with Philip Marlow, the lushness of the environment contrasting the character's decay. But without actual green, lushness is just a notion. The same was true in Suddenly Last Summer, with its wild garden ultimately failing to express what it was meant to, not like it would have in color. I love black and white, don't get me wrong. And to be sure, both of those films are magnificent without the need for color, as indeed are Fury Road and Logan. Ultimately, color is just an added visual language. Sometimes, it adds something crucial, as you pointed out with Knives Out. I can see how removing the color would diminish the film's humor and humanness. And The Batman clearly is built around its meticulously crafted color palette. To strip that out would sacrifice a lot. And yet, how handsome do some of those shots look in black and white? How fun to experience this film, indeed, all these films, as something timeless, rather than a product of their time? I think you felt that too. Stripping away color helps remove some of signifiers that anchor the films to their eras, a context that can drag them down a bit. Instead of being 90s films or 2010s films, they can just be films. I think like any other art form, film is all about choices, and each choice has benefits and drawbacks. So my takeaway from your video isn't that there's a "best" way to watch any of these films, and that all of them are worth watching in black and white, if only to refresh the experience a bit.
