User blog comment:MEffect Fan/Your most beloved Sci-Fi movie./@comment-1858991-20100623013938

I had no idea there were any Sci-Fi movies based in the silent movie era. I have not heard of it, but I just looked it up. It was in Germany, so no wonder I never heard of it. 2001 was influential to American sci-fi movies, not to mention it helped inspire us to go to the moon. If I ever have time I will try see this "Metropolis" if I ever have time.
