[quote=Grausamkeit;683896]So does that mean y'all also watched 'Das Cabinet des Dr Caligari'? I enjoyed that one, as well. Looked like the precursor to Tim Burton.[/QUOTE

Absolutley, that is visually a very influential film as we know it, and `The Cabinet Of DR. Caligari` is one of the best examples of German expressionism, along with Nosferatu (also directed by Francis Murnau) they demonstrated how film can be a painterly medium !!!.

We also looked at Metropolis and M which were directed by Fritz Lang (brilliant director). Speaking of Metropolis, did you like the 1984 edit by Giorgio Modorer who added an 80`s rock soundtrack to the film (including a song by Freddie Mercury, amongst others) ?

Trailer

Love Kills (Featuring Freddie Mercury) for Wolfie !!!.
