Seen both, but none made my list...
Weird story about Magnolia, I remember I saw it back in 1999-2000 and was enjoying it quite a bit, until that "weird event" near the end. I found it so utterly absurd and unbelievable that it kinda took me away from the film at the time. It was only later that I read that those "weird events" actually occurred, so I've been meaning to rewatch it with that frame of mind since. Just have never gotten to it. I love PTA, though, so I'm sure I'll go back to this.
Metropolis I saw for the first time last year and thought it was amazing, particularly the first half. Special effects were mind-blowing and found the story mesmerizing. However, I've been meaning to rewatch it in order to get a better grasp of it, and I also have a bunch of other favorite films from the 1920s, so this one just fell through. But I'm happy to see it here represented.
