I grew up with black-and-white TV, so until I left home, *everything* was in B & W. Possibly because of that, I still like it. The old Perry Mason episodes a local station is running from 1964, the first year of U.N.C.L.E., and classic movies like "White Heat" wouldn't be the same in color (as Ted Turner found out when he tried to colorize a lot of the old flicks in the '80s or '90s, huh?).

The best films from the Universal horror era are "Werewolf of London," "The Wolf Man," "Dracula" (the first half, anyway), and the first two Frankensteins. "Bride" is especially good, a flavor of science fiction with some macabre humor, and at least one in-joke. One of the little homunculi that Pretorius has created is a miniature Henry the Eighth. And Elsa Lanchester, who played the monster's bride, was married to Charles Laughton -- who had just played King Henry in 1933.
