Great choices..... you are a true fan of SF. You're correct that the re-release of of Metropolis was the silent version with a new rock/pop score..... and it was colorized. Did you know that *17* reels have been missing from this film since it's initial run? It's true....... !
Yes, I'd read that somewhere. Um, I suppose I am a little more into SF than yer average... maybe it had something to do with my father dragging me off to "Invasion of the Saucer People" and scaring the you know what out of me when I was 4 or so. Or that that it was a family tradition for him, my mother and I to sit up eating cheese, smoked herring and beer while watching the SF double feature every Saturday night (most were pretty bad but sometimes there'd be a good one like Day the Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds or Forbidden Planet, Comedy of Terror, Gojira and things like that. Um, possibly why I also hated beer by the time I became a teenager?). Then there was also the fact that they could never keep me in the "kids" section of the library and I found a couple of really neat books there (one was about an underground civilization on Mars and the other was about a group of explorers on the inside of a hollow earth taking canoes down these rivers in a prehistoric world... Unlike Journey to the Center of the Earth, this was pretty much a realistic description with stuff like volcanic ash flows blocking the river and trying to get away from the rain of pumice, getting tipped over by a pleseosaur etc.) to go along with my Space Cat Visits Venus and Space Cat Meets Mars kiddie books. Later, I found books like A Canticle for Leibowitz, Purple Cloud, Fred Hoyle's Black Cloud etc. and I was hooked (^_^)
