If you haven't yet seen Fritz Lang's masterpiece of film making, then shame on you. Keep an eye out for the epically restored version at local cinemas. Produced in 1927, the signature dystopic science fiction tale tells a story of an exploited workforce who rebel after being targeted by their masters in a violent act of oppression. It may feel like a plodding effort of silenct cinema, but the incredible special effects helped define everything familiar in modern film. Genius, prophetic and totally compelling.
