How about the colorized,"It's A wonderful Life?" The evil Mr. Potter ends up looking like a peachy-old softy! The men of Mr. Potter's time belong in black & white,since that's how they used to view life around them. (The selfish,prejudiced one's that is.)

The only defense I have for colorization is,Bing Crosby's,"Holiday Inn". Being a true Christmas film,color actually does make it somewhat more appealing. The processs has improved in recent years. Check out any "on-film" rerun of your favorite sitcoms on DVD.

As far as B & W movies go,leave 'em alone!
You know,Siskel & Ebert did a show some years back about this very subject. Roger Ebert had the nerve to say,"Do what you want to TV shows but not the movies." Excuse me?
Don't you dare add color to I Love Lucy,Dick Van Dyke Show or Andy Griffith etc.! Really! Been me,Aurevoir!
