Faust (1926)

Faust is the timeless story of temptation by evil and of how the road to hell is paved with good intentions. The film begins with some remarkable special effects, using camera trickery and double exposures, etc.
The momentum slows somewhat as it gets deeper into the story but the visual splendour and director Murnau’s eye for a shot keep it interesting even when the story sags in the middle section. If you hadn’t guessed already by the year, it’s a silent film, so if that bores you then you might want to avoid it.
