DOES IT MATTER IF ITS BLACK & WHITE?

With all the discussion about film and whether the "color" of the actors matters, we started thinking about whether color is a factor when it comes to watching TV and film. Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, The Twilight Zone, Abbott and Costello, Shadow and Fog, The Bride of Frankenstein, the Original King Kong, the list goes on. All these films and shows were produced in black and white. Jordan Peele released a version of his Twilight Zone series in black and white. And Takashi Yamazaki director of the award winning Godzilla Minus One was also recently released a version in black and white. Is there a timeless allure to black and white film or is it just for critics and film students?
