Movies like 'The Following' and 'Schindler's List' are made in Black and White although they were released in 1990s. Is there some particular reason behind it?
Why are some films still shot in black and white or sepia?

My dad used to tape these late night films on VHS and most of the time they were diabolical but one has always stayed with me.

The memory I have is very vagu...

If you're looking for an idiomatic version, neither, but your first option is closer to being grammatical.
You should use, and maybe unintentionally are using "had better".
"had better" is what Quirk et al. call a modal idiom. I checked, and CamGEL considers it as idiom-like as well. That means...
There's a cartoon or anime about a young man who operates a 3 layered mecha suit.
It usually starts with a large 1, inside it was the medium sized, and the center was the smallest like the size of a normal men.
