In order of merit:
1. Dracula (1931) ***1/2
2. Freaks (1932) ***
3. The Devil-Doll (1936) ***
4. The Unknown (1927) ***
5. Mark of the Vampire (1935) **1/2
6. The Blackbird (1926) **1/2
7. Where East Is East (1929) **1/2
8. By the Sun's Rays (1914) **1/2
9. Miracles for Sale (1939) **
10.Fast Workers (1933) **
I should be rewatching THE UNKNOWN and FREAKS on DVD soon so I'll be able to re-evaluate them, considering I find both slightly overrated ; I'll add THE DEVIL-DOLL, which I have on VHS, as I've only watched it once. Actually, I can't believe I haven't yet watched Warners' THE LON CHANEY COLLECTION 2-Disc Set which features the LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT (1927) reconstruction. I also need to pick up two other Browning/Chaney collaborations available on DVD, THE WICKED DARLING (1919) and OUTSIDE THE LAW (1920), and hope that the rest of their films - THE UNHOLY THREE (1925), THE ROAD TO MANDALAY (1926) and WEST OF ZANZIBAR (1928) in particular - will be included in the next Warners set... |
