So, I just watched Metropolis with BW. If I understand my trivia right, it is the first sci-fi ever made. It is a German silent film (but luckily they translated the writing for us). I really liked it, even if there was a good portion missing from it. I loved how they portrayed the conflict between the classes, which (if I remember German history correctly) was a big deal in Germany at the moment.
The characters were really interesting, if a little bit cardboard-ish. Considering that this movie was made in 1927, the special effects are amazing. I would highly recommend anyone to watch it if they like sci-fi.

Didn't they re-make Metropolis a few years back?

I know that there is an anime movie based somewhat on the German version that's also called Metropolis.. That is one of the movies on my list to watch.

They did do a remake, Georgio Moroder made it back in 1984. I remember it because Freddie Mercury of Queen did one of the tracks for it. Anyway, no. I've never seen the original though I wouldn't mind doing. Also, I believe the first sci-fi film ever made was also one of the first films ever made. It was, basically, a puppet show that was filmed and was based on Jules Verne's story, The First Men On The Moon.

Pretty sure I finally got to see Tron...yeah that's right I made it through almost 18 years of my life before I saw it. Sad, huh? But just to say, it made my whole day go good. Tron is like the best movie ever XD XD XD

I haven't seen Tron, but I have a weird urge to watch the movie Dark City. If you've never seen it, it's kind of odd and kind of like a precurser to the matrix 'cause this guy's living in this city that's faling apart around him 'cause it's been taken over by a bunch of AI's. Strange, but good strange. I really need to watch it again ... and eXistenz, another odd movie.
