Speaking of Nosferatu, has anyone seen "Shadow of the Vampire" (which
came out in 2000)? It's basically a horror film that is the
background story behind Murnau's making of the original Nosferatu
(with John Malkovich playing Murnau, and Willem Dafoe playing Max Schreck)...

If you like Nosferatu -- or even just early silent films in general
-- then this film is actually quite a lot of fun! Plus it does give
some insight into how those early silents were made (as far as
camerawork, direction, etc. goes).

Worth seeing, if it ever comes on TV (or if you're inclined to rent/buy it)!

Ron :)
