6 Of The Most Influential Films Of the Silent Era

The pioneering works of early silent cinema contained in this collection are among the most respected and influential films ever created. The expressionistic style found in Germany's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, The Golem and Lon Chaney's magnificent performances in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Phantom Of The Opera are considered landmarks in the history of motion pictures.

Phantom of the Opera
One of the greatest thrillers of all time this classic film features the original restored color sequence,

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari
Robert Wiene's pioneering masterpiece of German expressionism tells the tale of a somnambulist murderer and his master, the bizarre Dr. Caligari. A true classic of the silent cinema.

Nosferatu
This version of "Dracula" remains F.W. Murnau's unparalleled masterpiece of horror. Often remade, but never duplicated for sheer poetic terror.

The Golem
This true classic of German cinema recounts the legend of a giant clay monster brought to life through mysticism.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
In this remarkable adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale, John Barrymore stars as the scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll who transforms himself into the horrific Mr. Hyde.
