My Favourite Classic Films

It's a little hard to define what makes a classic film. At one point, being silent would have been the criteria, then it was being monochrome but now I think there's quite a few classics that are in colour.

My Favourites in Order

1. Nosferatu (1922 original and 1979 remake)
2. Vampyr (1932)
3. Great Dictator, The (1940)
4. Metropolis (1927)
5. M (1931)
6. Modern Times (1936)
7. Gold Rush, The (1925)
8. Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
9. Wizard of Oz, The (1939)
10. Freaks (1932)
