Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau unfortunately died too young.
Apart from Nosferatu, he also directed Sunrise, which was acted beautifully, where image was composed with taste, a truly admirable film, with some special effects that amazed the friend I brought to the movie to see that gem.
More special effects (and some setting) in Faust. The film ain't a good one though in my opinion, he was too focused being smart with the possibilities of the camera. Which he would have exhausted if exhaustion could apply to a camera.

Georg Wilhelm Pabst's Lulu with Louise Brooks is really really fine too. For a young man, it's more than charming.
