Jesus, how many different restorations of Metropolis do we need? It's gone through as many iterations as Bladerunner.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
After this, hopefully none. This will be the first time the complete film has ever been seen since it's original release.

So I need one more movie for my 3 for €16 from play.com. Galaxy Quest or Memento?

Galaxy Quest!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Have you seen either of them before?
Fiona - Oct 30, 2009 10:59:46 am PDT #4762 of 30000
I've seen them both.
Memento would be more for my Film History class - a surprisingly large number of students chose it as a favourite movie - and Galaxy Quest would be for me. Decisions decisions.
My other two movies are The Player (for class) and Brazil (for me and for class).
Edit: I guess it might come down to whether it's the version of Galaxy Quest with the Thermian commentary track.

Fair point. I really like Memento too, but Galaxy Quest is such a happy place movie.

Fiona,
have you seen the version of "Memento" where they put everything together so the movie runs forward? It is on the boxed set (btw, I'm a serious Memento junkie) and I really dug that version. I couldn't believe the movie actually holds together forwards.
