Wow, we're already at #15?

My #15 is Metropolis, a science-fiction movie by German director Fritz Lang. Metropolis marks the zenith of German expressionism. More deeply introspective and cerebral than most romance and adventure movies of the time, Metropolis embraced a philosphy of non-realism. And the characters, sets, and special effects reflect that philosophy. In fact, Metropolis has arguably the best production design of any movie ever made.
