There are some movies that *should* be made in B&W, but won't be made
or
will be made in color. B&W activates a different set of cells in the
eye
hence a different section of the brain, hence a different reaction.

I may be recalling incorrectly, but I believe that B&W film stock was of
a
significantly smaller grain than colour, and so captured more detail.

At any point in time probably. As the chemistry improved thing got
better on both sides.

I'm sure you're right. I also remember reading about still black and white
photography that taking away the "gaudy, distracting" colour from a person
allows a lot more of the "real" personality to show. But then, that's the
sort of thing they always say when they talk about B&W photography.

Sort of like listening to a public speaker with the sound off to really feel
the emotion and intent divorced from the content.
