It’s not the whole sequence, just the animated title appearing, but the first time I saw this for Frotz Lang’s **Metropolis** , I was blown away.

For years, I’d seen copies of the same, awful, overexposed print of Metropolis. the first time I saw a copy of a good print was when I saw Giorgio Moroder’s 1984 version. Instead of the block-print dull title I’d seen al these years, it showed the original animated version. When I went back and replayed the old version I was familiar with, I could barely mae out the washed-out version of this underneath that mess.

Here it is, with the animated logo starting at about 1:24 in:
