Why I Love Nosferatu in 100 Words or Less
Nosferatu (The Ultimate Two-Disc Edition)
Amazon Price: $25.49 (as of 12/21/2009)
This is the grand-daddy of all vampire movies, from the black and white silent movie age. It wasn't supposed to survive because it was an obvious rip off of Dracula. This cult classic somehow survived, and remains popular because because it is either so
Go ahead, disagree. I dare you.
Nosferatu is the best movie ever.

This is a classic film. How can you go wrong with a movie that's either so old it's funny, or still creepy enough to work its magic on you? Either way, it's a classic!

This is the grandfather of all vampire movies, a movie that never should have been made. This film is a black and white silent picture that stars Max Schrek as the creepy Count Orlock. This film was an expressionist film that remains extremely popular today, but because of a weird way: half the people who still watch this film find Nosferatu extremely creepy and scary, while the other half find it campy and hilarious.
This is one of the earliest vampire films, and after it's release, Bram Stoker's widow sued the director, saying this was a blatant rip off of her late husband's novel: Dracula. The court found in her favor, and every negative of this film was supposed to have been destroyed, but pirate copies kept cropping up all over the place. Once the copyright to Dracula wore off (copyrights last 70 years after the author's death), the movie was re-released in DVD format and is now available on DVD. Whether this movie hits you as very creepy or hilarious, it's worth seeing.
