No not really.

It makes it look like Mars Attacks! to me.

I usually find people's face and hands look very orange and fake when they are changed from black and white to colour. Maybe just me.

I generally hate colourised films and always watch them in the original monochrome unless the director specifically requested and/or supervised a colourisation process. Watching It's a Wonderful Life in colour completely ruined the experience!

I think there's a difference between It's a Wonderful Life and Harryhausen's films.

I never said they were better coloured i said i enjoyed flicking between the two.

I don't think there is a wrong answer as it's all down to personal preference – some people will prefer Earth versus the Flying Saucers in black-and-white and others in the colourised form or, like you, see it as a novelty and flick between. I thought it was interesting when colourised, but preferred it in monochrome.

I'm pretty sure all the Laurel and Hardy DVDs feature colourised shorts or feature films and the ones I've seen look dreadful, if only because they were done very badly.

The Boys From Brazil

not as terrifying as remember it when i saw it as a kid, but still a fantastic and chilling movie with a excellent cast. lots of well knowing names, including a baby faced Steve Guttenburg in an early role, but the real stars are the two leads Laurence Olivier and Gregory Peck who is mesmerizing and terrifying as angel of death Josef melange. only downside is the actor playing the "Boys" who looks a right evil little bastard UNTIL he opens his mouth, and then we lose all sense of menace. at the end we are left with a moral choice of what would you do, should these boys be hunted down and killed or should they be left alive, because they are just children and they might change and killing them would make us just as bad as the Nazis. 8.5/10
