Do you like Technicolor? I love the way it looks, especially the weird way it looks so artificial even though it was probably meant to make movies look more lifelike. It actually looks BETTER than real life. LMAO.. The trouble is, I think it was mostly used in the 1950s, when most movies weren't all that great. But there's a lot of good westerns and big epics that look really good in Technicolor that they made in the 50s and 60s. Even those soap opera type movies that were big in the 50s look really good because of the Technicolor.

Absolutely, this list features the greatest examples of such (with still more to be added when I decide upon ranking).

Such as:

Vertigo - Alfred Hitchcock (1958)
Once Upon a Time in the West - Sergio Leone (1968)
Rear Window - Alfred Hitchcock (1954)
Peeping Tom - Michael Powell (1960)
The Red Shoes - Michael Powell (1948)
Black Narcissus - Michael Powell (1947)
The Birds - Alfred Hitchcock (1963)
Marnie - Alfred Hitchcock (1964)
