Although Michael, sadly, seems a little creepy in the footage, it is a REALLY good film. The dancing really makes you want to get up and move. But that's just me :)

Ah, NOW I see. I wonder if blippy or netflix just mixed them up. I haven't ever seen the old one. But now I will!

Yeah, for years Metropolis was almost mythical. Something like half its runtime was lost, and what was left was in terrible condition and although clearly visionary it made almost no sense. About a decade ago the Murnau Foundation did a splendid digital restoration, complete with a new recording of the original score and intertitles to fill in the missing parts. And now finally almost the whole movie exists again. It's kind of miraculous.
This is the one awesome movie that Lindsay Lohan ever starred in. You just have to watch it if you want your life not to be an epic bag of waste and desolation.
