These are my favorite sci-fi films and ones I
can watch over and over.
I was going to comment on your Netflix queue, by commenting was closed on that list, so I'll do it here:
Looks like you have a healthy queue! One of my favorites from the list is Charade. That movie just plain rules in so many ways - one of my all-time favorites!
Metropolis (2001) looks like it could take more than it's name from the 1927 Fritz Lang classic. How would you compare the two (if you've seen the 1927 one)?
I saw the 1927 version of Metropolis years ago in the theater when it came out colorized and had
an 80's soundtrack. I loved it then and considered it one of my favorites. I haven't seen it again,
so it has fallen from my memory.
The 2001 Metropolis is just so beautiful to watch with the style of anime it presents.
I don't think there are too many similarities, other than both obviously being about futuristic
Metropolises.
Colorized and an 80s soundtrack????? *shudder* I'm damn glad I didn't see it like that!
Were parts of the film missing, as they are on the DVD? Like, did titles describe certain sequences of action?
I don't remember if parts were missing, although I think it was a short cut of the film.
Aside from the film, the music was great! :-) Freddy Mercury singing 'Love Kills', Bonnie Tyler singing 'Here She Comes'...
Guess I should check out the original again.
Oh, okay :-)
That doesn't sound so bad (for the music, anyway). When I think 80s soundtrack, I think Axel F :-)
