Truly one of the greatest movies of this era, Metropolis is a window into the anxieties of the times it was made, but its message has something to say to us all these years later. The music, the special effects, the writing, the acting--all are masterful. I wouldn't recommend this as a first foray for anyone looking to get into silent films, but anyone who has a couple Chaplins or Keatons under his belt ought to give it a go.
