F.W. Murnau is amazing. With classics like Nosferatu and Faust, his expressionist-like form helped push film from a novelty into an artform. If you haven't watched much of him, a nice Murnau movie night is a grand idea.
To go with German Expressionist stuff, another great silent to take a look at if you can is The Cabinet of Doctor Calagari. The set looks like a Tim Burton film, it's all about long lines, shadows, and eerie angles. I would show you a clip from YouTube but everybody thinks it's awesome to ruin silent films by adding modern music as the soundtrack. I disagree.
Watching silent films really gets the creative juices flowing. On a related note, "creative juices" is not an appetizing combination of words. In fact, I would go so far as to say that adding anything besides fruit before the word "juices" is just plain gross.
Examples:
- Man Juices
- Shoe Juices
- Hair Juices
- Literally any noun before the word "juices"
- Underwear Juices
