Many times you'll find movie lists of the "best [insert holiday here] movies of all time." Usually, these are yearly lists and vary from year to year.
This year, for some reason, I haven't seen many of these lists. Heck, I haven't seen any at all for Hallowe'en. (Yes, I use the traditional spelling for Hallowe'en.)
I finally did a search for such a list, and the IMDB Top 100 Halloween Movies of All Time showed up. And I was disappointed with the results.
Some of what was on the list made me go "seriously?" Some of what was not on the list made me go "Seriously??!!??"
You see, I consider Nosferatu a great movie for Hallowe'en, or for any time you want to watch a well done creepy movie. That's not bad for a movie that's 100 years old.
The film was released in its native Germany in March of 1922, so it's actually now closer to its 101st anniversary than its 100th. But this is the centennial of the film, and I think it's a great time to watch it.

It's a great film. Yes, it's old. Yes, it's a silent film. But oh my goodness, some of the scenes are visuals are fantastic.
Great visuals. Great film. And quite creepy. To me, it's a great Hallowe'en film, and I enjoy having it as part of my Streaming Life.
