Metropolis Needs Your Help!

As many of you know, I am a member of the Large Association of Movie Blogs.  Every month, they have a discussion and blogathon about one film that is voted on for that month.  The movies are nominated by members and championed by them through a poll.  The winner is the official Movie of the Month (MOTM).  You can vote at the LAMB's website in the sidebar.

For September's MOTM, I am championing Metropolis.  If you need any reminding of this film's awesomeness, here is my review.

Why should Metropolis be MOTM?
  • It's amongst the most ambitious film's ever.  The production design of Fritz Lang's world is staggering for its time.
  • Brigitte Helm's gloriously unhinged performance as the Machine Man.  She plays two characters who look identical, but you never doubt which is which.
  • Rotwang, the stereotypical mad scientist with the hint of tragedy lurking behind his actions.
  • Introducing LAMBs to both one of the most important sci-fi films of all time and one of the best silents ever.
So I need you all to click on the LAMB website go to the upper right corner and give Metropolis your vote!
