I saw Metropolis when it was released in the theaters in the early 1980's. However, I did not like the "heavy metal" rock score that they used with it.

TCM on-demand may still be running Metropolis.

I watched it a couple of years ago, and they restored some edits (original release was considered too long for audiences) from a pre-WWII copy that got stranded in South America.

I believe it was 16mm that got patched back in. The master was lost/destroyed during the war.
