Roger Ebert has chosen Alex Proyas' Dark City (1998) as the latest entry in his Great Movies series, making it the most recent of the over 200 movies selected so far. Says Ebert:I believe more than ever that "Dark City" is one of the great modern films. It preceded "The Matrix" by a year (both films used a few of the same sets in Australia), and on a smaller budget, with special effects that owe as much to imagination as to technology, did what "The Matrix" wanted to do, earlier and with more feeling.He also notes at the end of the review that a director's cut of the film will be released on DVD in 2006. No doubt it'll cut out the opening naration that Proyas has complained about, but I hope it doesn't have too many other significant changes.

Yeah I saw that too, it also implies that he recorded another commentary for the new cut. Great news for one of my favorite films of the 90s!
