This half mask is one of the most famous on Broadway and in the movies. The masked Phantom is a musical genius, physically-scarred and living in the catacombs beneath a Paris opera house. He falls in love with a young singer, and tries to make her the next star, but forces conspire against them.
On the stage, this role was made famous by Michael Crawford. In the movies, The Phantom was most recently portrayed by Scottish actor Gerard Butler.

Last Day Mask from LOGAN'S RUN
In the movie LOGAN'S RUN, people who reached their "last day," which was their 30th birthday, were forced to take part in an elaborate ritual that really was a cover for euthanasia.The lifeclocks embedded in their hands would go from red to blinking red-black, and that's how they knew it was Last Day. Most of the city would turn out to watch "Carousel" as the ritual was called. The participants were all dressed in red and white outfits with white robes and these masks. As you can see, it's a very stylized skeleton-type face.
V from V FOR VENDETTA
V, the main character in V FOR VENDETTA, wears a mask of the notorious British traitor/terrorist Guy Fawkes. Although masks don't move, by showing the face from different angles and with subtle changes in lighting, the graphic novel and movie both make V's mask look as though it shows a wide range of emotions.Shown here, V as acted and voiced by Australian actor Hugo Weaving in the movie adaptation.
