What is your favorite look for a film?  
What would you say your favorite “era” of color timing/grading is?  
How do you feel about changes to color timing of older films (IE, You Only Love Twice’s most recent DVD release is much less saturated/more “modern” looking than the original theatrical release)

How important do you feel color timing is to a motion picture? What about still pictures?
