Just watched METROPOLIS, it was free in the Times newspaper the other day. Its silent black and white but it is seriously an amazing movie!
My favorite book at the moment is "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, I also love the novels of David Lodge. Tom Wolf's "Bonfire of the Vanities" is an ACE book but under NO circumstances watch the movie with Tom Hanks, unless you have read the book first and want to mock the stupid director who cast Hanks and Bruce Willis in the opposite roles (the fool!). Hmm...what else, I read Bleak House this year at Uni, its long but so good! The BBC adaptation is really good if you can't be bothered reading the novel. "News From Nowhere" by William Morris is a really good vision of the future from Victorian times. If you fancy a really haunting portrayal of the second world war, check out Primo Levi's "If This Is A Man" and "The Truce" in that order, none of this Anne Frank's diary rubbish!
