Film History: Nosferatu

Nosferatu, the first vampire movie, was released in 1922. Although the music, silly special effects and jerky motion of the reel make it laughable, it has some genuinely creepy moments. And some memorable lines.

"Is that your wife? What a lovely throat!"

"Blood! Your precious blood!"

"That same night in Bremen, in a somnambulistic dream..." (I'll bet that word hasn't been seen or heard in a movie since).
