Get the ball in the hole, watch the piggy roll.

Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans - 9/10. F.W. Murnau. Fantastic. It says in the beginning that it isn't an unheard-of story and, yeah, there's nothing here that hasn't been seen before, but the movie succeeds in how masterfully it puts it all together. It goes from suspense to romance to surreal to comedy to tearjerker without batting an eye, without screwing it up, and the music with it. It is a marvel of movie-making.
