    Now that I've seen most of it, twice (eyelid difficulty first time, DVR/Satellite deficiency the second) I am now willing to go out on a limb and declare what movie...er film is the best...well, at least of those I've seen. Metropolis! I'll compare it with any other movie, film, piece of video tape ya got. BTW, TCM's discussion of it exposed that Hollywood types are absolute morons. Making a link between the industrialist-in-charge and Adolf Hitler was all they could do. No understanding of the social upheaval, the conflict between industry and labor, the number of anti-capitalists (starting with Germany's chief negotiator, moving onto socialists and communists, and including the Dadaists) running around Germany seemed to be beyond their ability to understand.

    Metropolis is such a Milestone a "Must have seen".:thumbsup: Sometimes I cant believe that is a "hometown movie". I was born, raised and live nearby. Long ago I also had some summer jobs in the 80*s.:cool:

      They also fail to understand that reality isn't quite so black-and-white. :sigh:

          I think a person can be stupid, but a comment or opinion can be asinine.

          You are correct. It was an event of massive and vast asininity. ;P At least I didn't use the adjective that makes me cringe, "dumb". Gaack! Every time I hear/see someone call something "dumb" I want to smack 'em a good one!

                            "It was in 1927!" (Note: 'Quote Selected Text' returns 'Bad command or filename. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...') No doubt you had to watch that black and white reality TV by candle light, too.

                              Interesting...and thanks for all of your contributions to this classic! :laugh: I looked at the list of "Notable Films". The last one is "The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 (2015)", another Rich v poor story. Some dystopic themes never die.
