I watch old ones, too, but always by myself. Nobody else wants to. It's always "eww, black and white!"

Often they're right. They'd be much more watchable with an AI that could sharpen the picture and colorize it.

Watched it with the family! Was a hit

Hard disagree on the colorization bit. I don’t see how color would improve some thing like Psycho or Citizen Kane

Nice!

I don’t know. Sometimes poor contrast black and white film does really well for the atmosphere/vibe/whatever the hell you want to call it.

"Sometimes" is the right word. Usually, it's just inferior. B+W was used for artistic purposes only rarely, the rest of the time it was because it was cheap and easy.

A kid in this house has started an appreciation for the original Twilight Zone, and enjoyed Casablanca before that. Gotta start early I guess. TV is scarce in this house, which promotes reading and feeling lucky to see a great movie, no matter the era.

I think it'd take more than picture quality to make classic films accessible. Acting styles and pacing especially have changed a ton since the b&w era. It's not to say they're not good, but they're a bit of an acquired taste.
