I agree adamantly about black and white. It adds something you can't get in color films, and I'm not all too sure what -- it's either a layer of texture, some kind of light-and-dark density that you don't get in technicolor, or maybe something more psychologically satisfying. Maybe it's just easier on the eyes, lets one take in a shot or an angle or (gasp!) the plotline or dialogue without being overstimulated.
Then again, I'm a mere musician who's only seen quite a few movies and makes more comments about the score. :P Incidentally, I think I'm the black sheep when it comes to James Horner... Eccch.
