A version not to be missed
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Not a whole lot to say about this one other than if you're any kind of a fan of Metropolis, you must have this in your collection. I have a copy which is a 'direct from print' copy on a DVD and there was no work done to clean it up and it doesn't have the half hour of missing footage, so this makes it a rare treat to have.

A must have, all time classic !!
||Posted .This 1927 silent sci-fi classic inspired many other classic science fiction movies, including Blade Runner and Star Wars. This re-mastered restoration includes most of the lost footage and even the original 1927 score. Best restoration to date. Way ahead of its time, this classic film is a must have.

THE Classic Sci Fi Silent Movie
||Posted .May be hard for some to watch a silent film but this sci fi classic still stands up. You can see this is as inspiration for so many films that came after. Was edited for the USA and finally the full film was been restored.
