- 'Metropolis' (1927) For as good as M is, there's another Fritz Lang classic that starts with "M" and is somehow even better: 1927's Metropolis. This is essentially the sci-fi movie of the silent era, and one of the most important within the genre's history, telling an epic and emotional story about a futuristic city that's a utopia for the rich and a living nightmare for the poor, leading to the latter starting a revolution so they can overthrow those who benefit from their misery.
- 'M' (1931) M was Fritz Lang's first movie since the silent film Woman in the Moon, and any doubts surrounding whether the director could sufficiently transition into making talkies were immediately dispelled by this film.
- 'The Testament of Dr. Mabuse' (1933) A sequel to his 1922 crime epic, The Testament of Dr. Mabuse is a leaner, more efficient, and arguably better follow-up to what was already a classic.
- 'Scarlet Street' (1945) When it comes to picking the best English-language movie of Fritz Lang's career, it's fairly easy to single out the excellent Scarlet Street as a Hollywood highlight.
He has been cited as one of the most influential filmmakers of all time. [4] Lang's most celebrated films include the groundbreaking futuristic science-fiction film Metropolis (1927) and the influential M (1931), a film noir precursor.
