When it comes to watching pre-1990 movies, are today's youths more receptive to color movies than black-and-white movies?

I don’t like movies about bad guys becoming worse. I’m sure there is some literary value, but I don’t know what it is.

Lawrence of Arabia is beautifully shot, I agree, but it never struck me as artistic the way Barry Lyndon and certain British works do. They need art terms to express them, like chiarascuro.

I have to disagree about LoA. Some of the close-up shots of O’Toole in particular absolutely look almost like something out of a Caravaggio painting, and some of the desert scenes have the ethereal quality of a Turner or Constable landscape.

Interspersed with plenty of scenes where action and drama take priority, of course, but nonetheless overall highly artistic IMHO.
