Watched 3 more over the last week or so.

(1) Sunset Boulevard
Awesome movie, best film about Hollywood's dark side I have ever seen. Crackling dialogue, moody interior shots, and outright creepy performances.

(2) Metropolis (Kino - restored) 1/2
I have to be honest, it was tough for me to get through this in one sitting. I think I was over-tired, and wasn't in the mood for it. I can see where the film is considered to be such a classic, and the countless times it was borrowed from, but it didn't really do anything for me personally.

(3) Aguirre: The Wrath of God 1/2
One of the most surreal films I have ever seen - Coppola definitely ripped this off for Apocalypse Now. Kinksi perfectly captures a man's descent into madness, it definitely puts you on the edge of your seat as he is totally unpredictable.

Brings my total up to 107 - More Fassbinder, Herzog, Lang, and maybe some Lubitsch coming up next!
