Fritz Lang's Metropolis is way before its time and modern sci-fi is stacked with homage after homage. C3PO, loads of things in the Fifth Element, Lord of the Rings' crowd scenes etc. The story stands up as far as mythic structure is concerned and is still relevant today. It's a long haul, yes and the acting is 'of it's day' but back then it must have been a real shocker!
