I don't have so much a division about B&W versus color, but I am much more invested in movies post what I call The Bonnie and Clyde Divide.
The shift from studio-styling with mid-Atlantic accents to French New Wave influence and verisimilitude.
The transition that saw us moving from Sound of Music, Oliver Twist, and Dr. Zhivago to The Graduate and The Godfather in a few short years.
