M (1931)

"A psychotic child murderer stalks a city, and despite an exhaustive investigation fueled by public hysteria and outcry, the police have been unable to find him. But the police crackdown does have one side-affect, it makes it nearly impossible for the organized criminal underground to operate. So they decide that the only way to get the police off their backs is to catch the murderer themselves. Besides, he is giving them a bad name." -imdb.com

Wow, this is a troubling, terrifying movie. Peter Lorre is superb. You can't help but feel the fascism that was on the horizon there in Germany. The 'safecracker' character looks like the future gestapo thug, and the pedophile- monster being portrayed 70yrs back is especially gruesome. I don't think anybody forgets this movie easily. It's terribly good!
