Maybe, there i some cast crossover, but not a lot.

I've thought about it more, and I think it comes down to cinematography. If you're going to make a "it's long and not much happens" movie, I need some good visuals to go along with it. The Revenant and There Will Be Blood are possibly 1a and 1b for me over the last 10+ years. Both are long, not much happens, but greatly acted and just visually a work of art. Metropolis was a work of art as well. The rest of Lang's movies are long, not much happens, and don't look like they have much more production budget than the Marx Brothers movies I've seen. (Of course, this being the early 30s, the state of Germany's economy at the time could be the biggest factor it that.)
