Ozzy Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Frankenstein The Bride of Frankenstein (even though both combined is only 2 hours and 25 minutes) Odd to say them because they are both vintage horror but if Godzilla is one... then way after those would be Metropolis. If I wanted to watch only one movie and it was between one of the Frankenstein films and Metropolis, I don't think I would ever pick Metropolis over those. Metropolis is creative and groundbreaking but is very hard to get through all the way from start to end. It is more a musical for obvious reasons and the story is a little overrated based on the social context/visual meaning, people geeking out over that alone regardless of is it actually entertaining or not... Very poor group of movies once more no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean look, we're all going to have different tastes, and while many of the "tastes" sadden me, it is what it is. But such a patently ignorant, false comment should be disqualifying to participate. It's obvious he has neither watched the film nor knows what he talks about when he determines what makes a film good or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot imagine how boring it must be with no sound at all. But no it is the best film in the history of cinema, my bad. And of course you will not nominate Frankenstein for obvious spite. If anyone is omitting something it is you for not nominating a film like Frankenstein or The Bride of Frankenstein. So now I should freak out like you do and go ha ha?

THE DUKE Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Dr Jeckyl and Mr Hyde (the Spencer Tracy one from 1941) Frankenstein That's all I got. Didn't we decide King Kong would be classified as fantasy? And a Trip to the Moon sucks, even by silent film standards.
