Manhattan, directed by Woody Allen is often considered one of the best shot movies in the history of cinema. Even, Shadows and Fog, which got average reception; was praised for its beautiful cinematography- mainly inspired by Impressionist Style. Both of these films were shot in Black-n-White i.e Monochrome; whereas most of his movies are shot in Multichrome.
So, which of these modes of shooting from his films, do you enjoy more?

Multichrome doesn't mean what you think it means:
MultiChrome is a technique by S3 Graphics to couple multiple graphics chips for better performance. It has first been used in the Chrome S20 series and later in Chrome 400 series graphics processors. The technology is comparable to NVidia's SLI and ATi/AMD's Crossfire multi video adapter solution. [1]
At the moment, due to the speed of the Chrome S20 and Chrome 400 chipsets, no special connectors are required to bridge both cards to activate MultiChrome. Also, unlike NVidia or ATi's solution, the technology is not locked to a particular chipset.Should I change the title from
'Woody Allen in Monochrome vs Multichrome'
to
'Woody Allen in Monochrome vs Colour' ?
'Woody Allen in Monochrome vs Multichrome'
to
'Woody Allen in Monochrome vs Colour' ?
you could just make it easy and say...
woody allen in 'black and white' or 'colour'...
woody allen in 'black and white' or 'colour'...
Is it better now?

You make the best face-offs! I already voted above for black & white and will when it goes live, but may I suggest just a few edits?
Woody Allen in Black & White vs. Color: no need for the single quotation marks. The whole quotation mark thing is just what the editors prefer for titles: Single quotation marks around film titles and double quotation marks around TV series. Oh, and they like to have a period after "vs" in face-off titles.
My other suggested edits just have to do with adding or omitting punctuation in a few places:

(Isn't English an annoying language? Lol. I mean I think it can be beautiful but, if it weren't my first language, it would make no sense. Actually, even though it's my first language, it still makes no sense -- it's not difficult for me because my parents speak perfect English (which is astonishing because my mom is an immigrant and largely self-taught) and, you know, small children just absorb everything whether it makes sense or not, so I learned it but when I got older I realized that I was so lucky that I learned it from my parents because most of its rules have dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of exceptions. Then when I studied it, in depth, in grad school, I only realized that it's even stranger than I thought. :-) By the way, the introduction is really well written. Even my students who have been speaking English all their lives, as a first language (and they're in college now and many are English majors), struggle with punctuation as much as my students whose first language is not English.)

Really tough because he obviously has legendary films in both categories, but looking at both collections of films I think I'd ultimately choose color/multichrome. We need more Woody Allen face-offs! Nice one.
couldn't agree more kyle...brilliant...
It's forcing me to compare gems like Zelig and Manhattan with ones like Annie Hall and The Purple Rose of Cairo; why put a person in that kind of conundrum :/ Btw Rocko, I'm yet to see Shadows and Fog and Stardust Memories, the latter mainly because I'm waiting until I see 81⁄2 (1963) for some context.
Did you see/like these films?
(Edited)
loved them both...not too much woody that i don't care for...but shadows and fog is one to watch again and again just for the atmosphere alone...
and yea, it would be hard to compare his work individually...but at least it would be worth comparing...

Kyle, agree that it puts in a kind of conundrum. That's exactly why I suggested this pole.
See, I have seen almost all his films. He has done only 5 films in black-n-white, but those are his most gorgeous works- in terms of cinematography IMO. Those 5 films are sufficient to compete with other works- which might even be better in terms of writing. Other than Midnight in Paris or Bergman-isque Interiors, I can't think of any film that beautiful.

Manhattan and Zelig are best of his films. Shadows of Fog, even after being weaker in writing; was like a homage to Impressionists.
rocky-o
zelig is my favorite woody film, and manhattan is certainly in the top ten...
shadows and fog may not have the greatest 'script', but...it is so interesting and intriguing that, with every viewing, you simultaneously see more of the beauty and scars left upon every frame...

It's an objective opinion than my subjective opinion!
