Yeah... I am talking Metropolis, Rules of the Game... that sort of insignificant crap.

Sounds like you need to get an account with Netflix.

I'm a big fan of Metropolis, I own both the cheesy 80's release and the new cut with the extra footage they've found, as well as the excellent Alloy Orchestra soundtrack and interesting anime remake. It's a groundbreaking film, but in many respects it's relatively primitive compared to Kane. M is superior in many ways to Metropolis, but lacks the intricate plot and character dynamics of Kane.
I don't think that all the films before Kane were crap, they were just, for the most part, unsophisticated in one way or another.

Interesting themes and photography but still wet behind the ears in their narrative skill. - Revolver66 06:29:34 12/16/05 (0)
Kane's multi-faceted approach in story telling e.g., voice-overs, flash-backs, expanded the powers of cinema. Your examples are fine films however they don't approach the cinematic gestalt of Kane.
