That's kind of scary!
I always fancied taking home the Maltese Falcon, or Ahab's leg myself.
The good one or the bad one?
Yeah, that's a big sack of [bleep]ed up!Wow... There are no words!
Has anyone seen the movie - Released in 1922, “Nosferatu” was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” - referenced?
I've seen Nosferatu quite a few times; once in a proper theater with live musical accompaniment. I agree with LizzieMaine--if you're interested, do your best to obtain a good print. In 2005-2006 Kino International (Now Kino Lorber) did a frame-by-frame restoration using bits and pieces from a number of surviving copies, and had the original Hans Erdmann 1921 score performed by the Saarbrücken Radio Symphony Orchestra and re-recorded. This restoration is considered by many to be the most faithful to the version of the movie seen in theaters in 1922, and is arguably the best available...if you can find it, that is. Released on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2007 it can be difficult to find for a fair price these days but, as LizzieMaine also mentioned, the majority of the low-budget public domain versions available on DVD are unwatchable due to their extremely poor video and audio qualities.Has anyone seen the movie - Released in 1922, “Nosferatu” was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s novel “Dracula” - referenced?
I wonder if a fan stole the head or some run of the mill idiot?
I'm equally as curious about the motivation behind it. Murnau died in 1931--why steal it now?I wonder if a fan stole the head or some run of the mill idiot?
Shadow of the Vampire (2000). Willem Dafoe as Max Schreck, and John Malkovich as F.W. Murnau. Atmospheric, with a surprising amount of humor. Worth seeing if you're a fan of Nosferatu; people unfamiliar with that movie might enjoy it, but not fully appreciate it.Has anyone else seen the fictional account of the making of Nosferatu, with DaFoe as an actual vampire playing the part? Very funny, but very creepy.
