Nosferatu
Capsule by Jonathan Rosenbaum
From the Chicago Reader

The Munich Film Archive's invaluable restoration of F.W. Murnau's Nosferatu (1923), the first and probably the greatest of all vampire films, which at around 95 minutes is a good ten minutes longer than previous versions. Henrik Galeen scripted this unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, and the film shows Murnau's uncanny mixture of expressionism and location shooting at its finest.
