- '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.
