About the list

Every film here was shot in black and white. The colorized version is AlwanFilm’s own work, and the original black-and-white film remains the reference version. Many classic-film fans prefer the originals, and we recommend seeing both. For how colorization developed, from hand-tinted prints of the 1900s to the digital methods used today, see the history of film colorization. To browse with posters instead, see all colorized movies.

Notes on the data: “primary director” is the first credited director. Genres and countries follow the catalogue’s own classification. Release year is the original release year, not the year of colorization. The list does not include ratings or vote counts from third-party sites.
