Well, that's another way of reading the thread title, I suppose.

My professors encouraged me to resist the binaries of black & white thinking. I'll see myself out.

Some favorites...

Dante's Inferno (1911, Bertolini/Padovan/Liguoro)
Häxan (1922, Christensen)

Since Citizen brought it up, I've also seen the 1931 Jekyll & Hyde, which is pretty good. Are the other "classic" versions worth a watch? 1941, with Spencer Tracy, Ingrid Bergman, and Lana Turner? 1920, with John Barrymore?

Haven't seen the 1941 recently enough to comment (literally decades since last seen) but the 1920 is definitely worth a watch imo. I know at least two people would agree with me as it received a couple of votes in the pre-1930 countdown. I rate the 1931 as + and the 1920 as . The 1912 short I only rate .

I'd say the 1931 Jekyll & Hyde is more psychologically violent than the 1941 film, which isn't surprising as it's a precode film. Though I'd say the 1941 version is worth a watch too. I've not seen the 1920 silent version with John Barrymore but with him at the helm it's gotta be pretty great.

Yeah, I've heard Barrymore is pretty good in it.

I haven't seen enough of John Barrymore that's for sure, but of what I've seen him in, he does command the screen.

I've only seen him in Grand Hotel, but he was pretty good in it.

He was! The entire star studded cast was pretty great. Geez there's yet another film I need to revisit.

Frankenstein
The Bride of Frankenstein
Dracula
White Zombie
Psycho
The Invisible Man
Nosferatu
The Phantom of the Opera (1925)
The Haunting
THEM!
