[clemso]

Argentina huh? Hmm, didn't a lot of Nazis reportedly escape to Argentina? who knows what else they might uncover.

[samsallspark]

Good God if this shows up in the Castro Theater or Paramount Theater, I'm so there!! I hope they have live music.

I watche dMetropolis as a teen and it had a soundtrack buy Journeyt I think. Lots of still shots with text. Now I watched it last week on a Half Price Books purchase and I am excited there is more!

VERY Terminator. AMAZING visuals. They do kinda go for big crowds running around a lot at the end.

Saw Nostferato. Saw Phantom, SAw the Barrymore Jeckel and hyde, ( Okay Silent Screamers action figures I get it!)

FINALLY saw Hunchback with Lon Chaney! Thought that was lost.

Im still hoping to live long enough to see Edisons Frankenstien and wait for a copy of London After Midnight to show up !!

SIlent Screamers!!!!!:-)!!

I've always read that the holy grail of film would be a copy of London After Midnight....someone years back in the late 90's had offered up over a million dollars for it and it never turned up.:no:

Sounds like they might have London After Midnight in that vault of films they found! Who knows what's in there... Hopefully some lost episodes of Patrick Troughton's time in Doctor Who!

I'm always amazed at the special effects in Mteropolis and a few other really old films. It's amazing what some of them did.

This is fantastic news.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I have actually never seen this movie. Guess I will have to check it out

[SlipperyLilSuckers]

I saw this for the first time this year. I look forward to seeing the whole version. Thank goodness for that guy's perserverance in finding it.

Awesome news. I had always heard that the entire film told a totally different tale. I look forward to seeing it. Now find London After Midnight!

I remember first watching this movie over Christmas break when I was around nine years old or so, on one of the PBS stations, I think it was Channel 13.

They used to show old movies a lot, especially during the holidays.

I saw Nosferatu, Phantom of the Opera, etc.

But this was one of the most intense movies I remember seeing.

What struck me most was the visual of the underground workers shuffling into the elevators as they changed shifts. They were all in grey rags, with their heads down, and no emotions on their faces.

All of their kids were dressed in rags too, and looked like half starved puppies.

Real intense images when your only nine.

I had nightmares about it for weeks.

But it's still one of my favorite movies.

[Werewolf]

I'm excited for it too. :wink_y:
