Nosferatu 1922 ★★★★
Say what you will, but nothing tops the experience of seeing a classic like this in a theatre, especially in the version the theatre owners came up with, accompanied by a magnificent score.
The story itself is as wonderful. Ground breaking for its time, introducing what we now call clichés. Or the overacting that was par for the course in silent movies. Some of the facial expressions are downright hilarious.
Orloch looks part scary and part funny. He does not have the charisma that Lugosi brought to the table when playing, but he is definetily creepy at times. And his assistant looks like he (partly) inspired later incarnations of Scrooge. Perhaps even mister Burns?
