Svengali (1931)
John Barrymore and his eyebrows star in this Gothic horror classic about a creepy piano teacher who hypnotizes a pretty but talentless young woman and her cathedral-shaped mouth into becoming an international singing sensation. It has everything you need in a movie - guyliner! Bumbling Scottish stereotypes! Long, silent pans across cardboard cityscapes! Svengali in the bath! And Gecko. Dear, sweet, frankly useless Gecko. As classic as it is, this is a film that's crying out to be riffed.
