If we're talking about *influential* sci-fi films, influential in the historical sense, the original Metropolis has to be #1. It's one of the wellsprings of speculative visual design.

It's been thematically significant, sure. But visually Metropolis has had an incredible influence on the look of scifi and fantasy films for over 75 years. People have been influenced by Metropolis' art direction at second and third hand, heck - I bet some pups didn't even realize it was Metroplis they were referencing.

Look at a picture of Maria the robot. Now look at a picture of C-3PO.

IMO Metropolis has passed from "influential" to iconographic.
