The Invisible Man (1933)
The other day, I was at the end of a long shift in the screening room. I was about to go home, when a publicist invited us to stay and see The Invisible Man (which is part of a revival of a collection of classic Universal horror films). My colleagues and I looked at each other, shrugged, and trudged back into the dark little room for another 71 minutes of cinema. When I emerged, I was buzzing. The Invisible Man caused more of a stir in me than any of the new films I had seen that day. read more...

Faust (1926)
After Murnau's international success with The Last Laugh, he was given carte blanche for his upcoming projects. The very expensive and mesmerizing Faust was one result of this. Based on Goethe's play, the film tells the story of an old man, Faust (Gösta Ekman), who sells his soul to the devil (otherwise known as Mephisto, played by Emil Jannings) in order to fight off the pestilence plaguing his hometown. read more...

The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
Robert Wise directed this very good, but slowish and slightly high-minded, sci-fi picture about an alien (Michael Rennie) and his robot landing on earth and causing all kinds of hysteria. Bernard Herrmann adds one of his most famous scores, complete with the ghostly, wailing Theremin music. Fox's DVD and the disc includes documentaries, stills and trailers as well as Edmund H. North's shooting script. Wise provides a director's commentary track. Wise's next two forays into sci-fi would be The Andromeda Strain and Star Trek: The Motion Picture. read more...

Nosferatu (1922)
A small handful of movie fans caught a glimpse of a genius last winter in Shadow of the Vampire, which presented a fictional take on the silent vampire movie Nosferatu. Willem Dafoe walked away with an Oscar nomination as Max Schrek, who turns out to be a real vampire, but it was John Malkovich who portrayed the master filmmaker Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau. read more...
