20 Great Films from the 20s (20 movies items)

"Now THIS is a Horror film! Brilliant German director F. W. Murnau's unauthorised adaptation of Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' (Murnau changed a few details to avoid being sued), 'Nosferatu' tells the story of Count Orlok and his reign of terror against the Hutter family.
