Hell yeah. Nothing Hollywood has ever done can compare to Metropolis.

Actually, there are some modern films I like, but I'm on a strict
"no movies" diet for the forseeable future.

Some of my fave "talkies" are: Freaks, anything by Ed Wood, Repo Man,
Evil Dead II, Fantastic Planet, Wizards, 2001, Dog Day Afternoon, etc.
The most recently made movie I enjoyed was... that remake of Romeo &
Juliette with Decaprio in it. That was cool.

(The Ed Wood thing isn't a goof. His entire approach is a huge
influence on my artwork: put effort where it's needed, don't waste it
elsewhere, don't worry about trivialities, don't look back. Use
whatever's lieing around.)
