No. 10 - Nosferatu Despite being nearly 100 years old, Nosferatu, an unauthorized version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, still resonates with audiences and critics today. Unlike many later, more debonair, portrayals of Dracula, the hunchback count in Nosferatu is a monstrous beast that incites both paralyzing fear and utter disgust the moment he is beheld. His slow, creeping ascent of a staircase -- presented to the audience as a shadow -- is one of the most unnerving scenes in film history. Not only one of the best horror movies of all time, Nosferatu is also one of the best silent films ever made.
