http://www.cinevault.com/index.html ** IMDB #58 Best Movie Of All Time ** in High Def! M - Eine Stadt sucht einen Moerder (1931)When the police in a German city are unable to catch a child-murderer, other criminals join in the manhunt.This film is nothing less than a masterpiece.It is a highly structured and stylized film about a serial killer.It created the serial kill genre, which includes such entries as Psycho and Silence of the Lambs.Alfred Hitchcock (the director of Psycho) was a disciple of Lang as were Jacques Tourneur (The Leopard Man (1943)) and Michael Powell (Peeping Tom (1960)).M was not only the originator of the genre, but arguably remains it preeminent entry.Highly recommended for those in the mood for a Hitchcockian-style thriller with a great performance by Peter Lorre and great story-telling technique by Fritz Lang
