F.W. Murnau's adaption of Bram Stoker's Dracula is a masterpiece and one of the earliest examples of the horror genre. Many of the genre conventions employed here live on today - the slow moving murderous villain, the screaming and seemingly paralized damsel. Remade by Werner Herzog in 1979.
Nosferatu is a silent movie from 1922 and loosly based on Bram Stoker's vampire classic, Dracula. For further information on this film go to: http://steve-calvert.co.uk/pub-dom/nosferatu1922.htm

In its time, "The Birth of a Nation" was a masterpiece. Its racist undertones and revisionism are quite disturbing, but it is still worth watching for its historical influence.
