A Classic Era LOTR Movie - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Netflix does indeed have some Lang classics on Watch Instantly (Metropolis to the top of the queue, thank you -- sometimes modern technology is quite awesome), but sadly they don't seem to have Die Nibelungenlied even on disc.

Awesome that you got to see Metropolis on the big screen. I used to get out to more revival screenings (the double-bill of Apocalypse Now and The Bridge on the River Kwai at the old Cineramadome was pure heaven!) and even held out for a few of the greats until I had the chance to see them on the big screen. I didn't see Lawrence of Arabia or even The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly until my early twenties, but they were both worth the wait. Since Underhillo Jr. came into the hobbit-hole, though, it's been hard to get to the local multiplex, let alone a revival house like the New Beverly.
