I remember hearing somewhere that moviegoers sometimes screamed out loud or even fainted at the scene from the silent "Phantom of the Opera" where his face is deformed. Now I just look at it and say, "That's it?"

*nods*

Even a movie as recent as Star Wars now looks terribly dated, but the special effects amazed back in the day. You have to immerse yourself in the time to get the full effect.

Nosferatu was really creepy in it's day and I find the scene where he raises up from the coffin stiffly to be especially creepy.

That was creepy!

I want to see the silent movie "The Man who Laughs" just because it was a huge inspiration for the Joker.

Oh, that's a good fannish connection! :)

Oh, and I'm going to watch Public Enemies this weekend. I'm looking forward to it.

Cool! I hope you like it! I know just because I love the movie doesn't mean everyone else will, but there's a lot there to absorb. If you like period pieces, I think you will enjoy the film.
