Faust
Although F.W. Murnau's FAUST is not as well known as his NOSFERATU (1922), THE LAST LAUGH (1924), and SUNRISE (1927), it's certainly in the same league as those silent classics, displaying the same astonishing use of stylized imagery and Murnau's mastery of cinematic technique.

In an attempt to gain control of the Earth, Mephisto the Devil (Emil Jannings) wagers an angel (Werner Fuetterer) that he can destroy the soul of a kind, elderly professor named Faust (Gosta Ekman). Mephisto brings a devastating plague to the town where Faust lives and kills half of its inhabitants. Faust's attempts to find a cure are unsuccessful and he loses his faith in God and science...
