La Source Enchantée, dir. Georges Méliès, (1901)

Genuine, dir. Robert Weine (1920)

One of my favourite vampire films, and lesser known than his other cult masterpiece The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari; Genuine is a brilliant silent film - decadent, daft and delirious, it perfectly encapsulates the voluptuous horror and sensuality of vampirism (and incredibly stylishly, too). It is a brilliant evocation of German expressionist cinema, with brilliant sets by artist Cesar Klein and starring Fern Andra. Recommended viewing.
