I think I remember watching Nosferatu (original) and Frankenstein and liking those a lot. |

i appreciate movies from many different era`s, slow, fast, deep, shallow, every movie is taken on merit and any opinions shared here are purely that, an opinion.

When I watched it again as an art piece, and a pseudo play, I got a different appreciation of it. It's like the first time I heard George Harrison's song 'Only a Northern Song': it's out of tune, so I thought, so to speak, until I heard him sing, "You may think the chords are going wrong But they're not He just wrote it like that" |
One of my favorite Silent Horror Films along with Nosferatu and London By Midnight.

Love the old silent classics and you just have to remember film was still sort of new. Also, no sound, so they tended to, as we say now, overact to get the point across,
Really enjoyed CALIGARI, NOSFERATU, the Lon Chaney films, THE LOST WORLD as well as BIRTH OF A NATION and BROKEN BLOSSOMS. Only thing I can suggest is be rested to watch them...if sleepy, it's harder to follow them |

Speaking of silent films, Noseratu and Metropolis blew me away. I've seen maybe 15 full-length silent films, those are the only two I can say that about. |
Did you see the Portlandia skit about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
