Caligari Carnival: a film I had to watch in film history this year was very weird. It's called the Cabinet of Doctor Caligari and it was a German film that was made in the 20s. The plot had something to do with a carnival guy but other than that I forget the rest. Also, on the subject of German silent films: Olaf looks kind of like Nosferatu as virtually all "villains" in that film genre had unibrows.
