If you are a "Metropolis" fan ...

Vudu.com has a sale on the digital version of the remastered film. It's only $5. It's the Kino Lauber version. It's miles better than the public domain versions. I have the blu-ray and it's awesome. (FYI, I checked Apple TV and it’s $14.99.)

Here's the trailer.

Thanks for the link. Great story by the L.A. Times. ificandream Aug 14 #4

I'm guessing it'll be on sale through at least Monday. ificandream Aug 9 #2

Update: It's still on sale as of today, so that means it'll likely be on sale through Friday. ificandream Aug 13 #3

This remastered version is what I had been waiting for and following the Murnau foundation and the long process to produce this restored version…bought that version right after we went to a local boutique cinema back in 2010 to see the film.

Here is an article from the time…

It's actually been on sale since this last Tuesday, and since Tuesday is usually the day they change sales, it's my guess it'll be on sale through Monday. A word to the wise.
