Can I just say that I love the eclectic group of films that have been chosen as the Movies of the Month by all the voters out there since we rejuvenated the MOTM feature in March of last year?  We've had critically-acclaimed films like Inglourious Basterds and The Shining, we've had cult films like The Evil Dead and Bronson, we've had foreign films (Oldboy, The Third Man), a favorite of your shepherd (The Long Kiss Goodnight) and many more films that spanned the eras, from 1949 to 2009.  Now, we go back more than two decades further (1927) to tackle a new first for the MOTM - a silent film.   Not just any silent, either, but Fritz Lang's sci-fi classic Metropolis, championed by Pat of 100 Years of Movies.

Before we get to the links, here's the IMDb summary for the film, for those that aren't familiar with it:

" In a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences."

* 100 Years of Movies
* CinemaFunk
* Dusty on Movies
* Random Ramblings of a Demented Doorknob
* The Geek Twins
* The Vern's Videovangaurd
* Tips From Chip

As we do every month, the LAMBcast is tied in with the MOTM. This time around, as mentioned, Pat hosted the MOTM segment, and was joined by Nick, Todd, Justin and Dylan.
