In early 1920, Robert Wiene premiered in Berlin his silent film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Ever since, critics have lavished praise upon Caligari, calling it a model of German expressionist film, the greatest horror film of early cinema, and an important influence on directors later working in the film noir tradition. And, what’s more, Wiene’s film introduced the ‘twist ending’ to cinema. (Sorry for the little spoiler there.) Today, you can watch this groundbreaking film in its entirety above, download it from the Internet Archive, or find it permanently listed in our ever-growing collection of Free Movies. Thanks to Melissa for the good find…
