Sadly, VERY true. I always liked B/W films and it really didn't bother me...a good film is a good film, period!
Like You, Sculpt, my Mom and I watched all kinds of things which my wife and I do now. Our daughter likes many of the older titles as well.
A lot of younger viewers don't seem to know that CGI and ultra large budgets weren't always so prevalent and sometimes You had to make do with what You had.
I miss those days
