Frankenstein(1931)-(Movies To See Before You Die-Horror)

Based on Mary Shelly's famous novel about  an obsessed scientist assembles a living being from parts of exhumed corpses. I just wonder in awe at the uniqueness and charm of this movie, the atmospherics, sets, backgrounds, lighting, effects, sound and visuals etc. Even by watching you just get a totally uncanny sense of being part of and being real-time witness of a magnificent period of cinematic history.The lead character innovatively tries to explore the relationships he had in his past and the reasons why they all remained unsuccessful.
You can almost taste the 1930's. It's the nearest thing you'll ever experience of whats its actually like to get in a time machine. Just switch off the lights and you can even imagine yourself being a 1930's cinema goer.  Some of the viewers may find it a bit slow but you are sure going to cherish the experience in the end. Highly recommended for lovers of meaningful and experimental cinema .
 Directed By James Whale
Starring : Colin Clive & Mae Clarke
