That was cool though

Originally Posted By vbdad55 I'd have no problem as long as they don't cut out the timeframe -- a scene from Fritz Langs'metropolis would be cool too

I can't think of too many that would suit a family audience...I also can't think of too many that the majority of the public would remember two weeks after they saw it regardless how great the film was... VB, Actually Metropolis would be a great one but it already reminds me of those frozen gals going in... I just get the idea that today very few people really remember some of those classic lines and scenes from so many great films before 1970...Hopefully I am wrong...
