Ah, streamed... That'd not be really comfy, seeing how Ang's computer corner is set up... I guess we'll have to wait until the DVD is within price range or someone finds a ripped version.
M, as I recall, was not dated at all - the silent filmmakers of the time were able to instill a certain 'adulthood' in films which is seldom surpassed nowadays (movies now being aimed mostly on popcorn-munching 15-year olds).
And yes, Peter Lorre is a fine actor! Watched Casablanca the other week, and still trying to get Ang to see The Mathese Falcon. We've seen other Fritz Lang movies (and assorted silent films), so no doubt Ang will like "M".
