Any other fans out there? They drive my kids nuts, lol! Just as well, who knows what watching Dr. Caligari or The Golem at a young age would do to you? Anyway I'm watching disc 2 of Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen this weekend. The first half was awesome. The whole thing is like 5 hours long.
I really like Faust, there's some great imagery in that one, Caligari is rad to, I love all the sets and everything, the weird painted shadows.
I have only really seen Nosferatu (which I love) and Vampyr. Also Metropolis (Also love that). I will look out for the ones you guys have mentioned above though as I would like to see some more of this stuff.
all german expressionist movies are scarier than anything else ever made. Completely psychotic, and the directors made them for like nothing.
The "Golem" is truly amazing. I remember reading an odd story about how the film was saved from being lost forever. Supposedly it was lost, but someone in Germany found a small length of film of "Der Golem" that was sold with a film projector as a sample. So they had to go to many, many, camera stores and buy all the projectors to recover all the film and put it back together. Don't know if it's true though
