Everyone know Fritz Lang's Metropolis and M, but has anyone ever seen his first US movie Fury? If you haven't I highly recommend this flick. It stars Spencer Tracy, and it deals with mob mentality.
Definitely seen it several times --
The shot of Tracy in the doorway in the rainstorm is very remincient of M. The lynch mob "documentary" shots are straight out of Metropolis. Ol' Fritz got a very enraged performance out of Tracy!
