Metropolis 
I love Moroders work on this 1984 gem. Freddie Mercury's "love kills" is the best song he has written/sung. 
Great film bytheway too. Though i have only seen the 80's soundtrack version, with its industtial production, it fits the visuals well. 1. Love Kills (04:29) Freddie Mercury 2. Here's My Heart (04:54) Pat Benatar 3. Cage of Freedom (04:04) Jon Anderson 4. Blood From a Stone (03:37) Cycle V 5. The Legend of Babel (03:55) Giorgio Moroder 6. Here She Comes (03:48) Bonnie Tyler 7. Destruction (04:09) Loverboy 8. On Your Own (04:09) Billy Squier 9. What's Going On (03:49) Adam Ant 10. Machines (04:11) Giorgio Moroder Other highlights are the instrumentals (and "blood from a stone") and the loverboy song "destruction". Pat benatar's "here's my heart" is very strong too. I don't own any billy squier or heard any of his music, but "on your own" is a great song. [Edited 10/18/05 17:38pm] | |

I just bought this second-hand yesterday. Haven't listened to it yet though. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

I only know "Here She Comes" by Bonnie Tyler. it's great. "I don't need your forgiveness, cos I've been saved by Jesus, so fuck you." | |

i hooked up my stereo to the vcr and dubbed my own soundtrack to 'metropolis' which may not be as well-edited, but i far prefer the choices.  | |

i love the original metropolis but that 80's remake with the awful soundtrack should have never happened. its a classic film and the music not only adds nothing, it takes away from the film's message. its really a distraction. | |

I've only seen the "80's" version. But i know loads of other versions exist in one or another. It was a good idea to get a new generation of audiences though. | |

Oddly my dad doesn't mind the soundtrack (he generally does not like synths in anything), but my dad is pretty open minded. I cant see myself being half as openminded or varied music taste wise when iam in my 50's. | |

The Kino print is really good, alot of the movie was restored from the print they found. I would love to have that job; looking for old footage in basements and cellars in Europe or south America, or wherever they miraculously find these prints.Kino is probably the one of the best in restorations. | |
