Metropolis is a beautiful film, certainly one of my favourite Silent works... have you seen the recently restored footage?Imthatguy said:The best B&W movie period is Metropolis. See it right now if you haven't.
Vertigo is my favourite Hitchcock film, so good choice and all... but I can't understand why this sort of stuff still gets people in a tizzy. Any "Greatest Film Ever Made" is just plain wrong... any art-form is subjective. There can't be a best film, because no two opinions will ever fully agree on anything... at least that's the way it should be.
