I used to watch many more movies than I used to. For whatever reason, both in my reading and TV watching, for the last several years I've been much more into non-fiction (with my watching of the current BattleStar Galactica being a notable exception).
When I still watched movies a lot, my sister pointed me to Metropolis, a 1928 silent film that was a huge sci-fi classic. The movie's initial reception was poor, so it was edited down to make it shorter and more palatable.
According to Reuters and the New York Times, there is a print of the film containing almost exactly the original German release of the film without editing.
It sounds from the articles that the company that owns the distribution rights in the US has verified that the print is genuine, and I assume once restoration work is done they'll be releasing a version.
Cool!
