Are there any other good modem movies that have black and white counterparts? The only other one i can think of is The Day The Earth Stood Still and the remake of that isn’t even that good.

This question comes about as my really enjoying The Thing, finding out it had an earlier version, and then finding i enjoyed that version more and for different reasons. I’d love to branch out and watch more monochrome movies with modem ties.

    The Fly - I have a boxset of all the various Fly films

    Pants on fire. 😛 The original 1958 movie is in color.

    Heresy!

    I have to give you that one! 🤝

      Nuts, so it was. The sequels are B&W, which is confusing.

          To be honest I was quite surprised to find out the original Blob was colour, but I decided to leave it on the list. The mind plays funny games with us (or mine does anyway).
