Raging Bull is the only one of those I’ve watched the whole way through.
It’s an age thing but I’ve never wanted to watch black and white films. I always thought they old and boring! Someone persuaded me to watch 12 Angry Men once. While it was a decent film it was nothing to write home about in the modern era. I’m sure I will be in a minority with all the geriatrics on here!!! |

In The Heat Of The Night.
This was the first major Hollywood film in color that was lit with proper consideration for an actor with dark skin. Haskell Wexler recognized that standard lighting used in filming produced too much glare on most black actors and others of dark complexion. |
