Here's a much shorter list of other movies I'd recommend seeing, this time, focusing on silent films:

Nosferatu (1922-Germany):

THE quintisential vampire movie by FW Murnau. No hansome Nobleman, no "glittering" in the sunlight, and no minion(s) to huff around your coffin for you! (How humilliating!) A must see movie, period.


The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920-Germany):

Very good example of German Expressionist cinema, Stylistically, it might be a good inspiration for those into steampunk.

(Note: Hans Conreid, who plays a sonambulistic killer, is best known as Capt. Hook from Disney's "Peter Pan.")


The Phantom of the Opera (1925-USA):

I've always wanted to try this: Watch this Lon Cheney Sr. classic, while listening to the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical at the same time. I wonder how that would turn out. Also a must see.


Haxan ("The Witch") (1922-Sweeden):

This is more of a "Documentary" than a horror film. It covers the history and persecution of witches in Europe, and the modern (per 1922) psychological explainations for witches. A unique film.

Note: Director Benjamin Chistensen makes a cameo appearance as the Devil in the reenactment scenes.


That's it really. There aren't too many of these types of films still existing, and I'm open to viewing suggestions on this one.

Faust (1926-Germany):

Another FW Murnau classic about the infamous alchemist who learned why it's a bad idea to sell your soul for knowledge.
