BTW, I’m a HUGE fan of Metropolis. We have the blu-ray version of it. One of Fritz Lang’s great early classics. He went on to fame in Hollywood directing “Fury” with Spencer Tracy - horrific story about a lynching. Lang was a master of crowd control.

We’re of a generation that revered foreign film and classic American film unlike the people posting here who admire Kung Fu movies.

I've been a HUGE fan of "METROPOLIS" and Fritz Lang's work, since I was a child.

FURY is also an amazingly good movie and quite an unsettling one to boot. But "M" is chilling ( sort of an early NOIR, before there was such a category )and Peter Lorre at his best/scariest/most haunted.

Have you ever seen "SCARLET STREET"? TCM is showing it in December and if you haven't seen it, you should.
