vs.




Arguably, the best horror-comedy to have come out in recent times...

Shaun of the Dead

This is another realy tough match for me, I think what swayed me toward Shaun was the fact that Lang has done more than one film that I like better than Metropolis.

Metropolis. Fritz Lang's masterpiece.

I saw Metropolis on HBO the other day and was considerably impressed.
It's unbelievable that they made this way back in 1927.
For being so far ahead of it's time, it gets my vote.

5-3, Metropolis silently marches ahead of Shaun.
