While M is a fine movie for its cinematography, its editing and acting, it is perhaps most memorable for its use of sound, and its absence, to manipulate emotions.
"M" stands for "Morder," which is "murderer" in German, and at one point in the film someone scribbles the letter in chalk on the back of Lorre's coat.
M is ranked number 41 in the top 250 films of all times by the voters at the International Movie Database and 107th in Carter B. Horsley's Top 500 Sound Films

 Movie Review: M
Lang's movie constantly jolts our expectations - the criminal boss who organises the hunt for the killer is a sharply dressed and well-organised man. In contrast, Lohmann (the police inspector) is sloppily dressed, drinks and smoke too much, and exhibits the characteristics normally associated with a movie villain.
The power of M derives from the fact that the monster had a human, almost angelic face, but his crimes were beyond comprehension.
In fact, the story was based on a real-life murderer, but since M featured a dark parody of law and order (when the criminals hold their own 'trial' of Becker) and examined the power of mob-rule, it may have caused discomfort amongst the followers of National Socialism.

 M (1931)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
M is about the search for a child murderer in Berlin, and as the story, and the search progress, the high profile murderer begins to inhibit the lives of everyone from the Police, to the criminals, to innocent bystanders who are accused of being the murderer for even the slightest contact with any child.
M was Germany's first talkie, and is evident by the primitive sound recording.
This film featured the first scene where two different parties are talking about the same thing, and the conversation is continued between the two groups (for the dramatic touch, the two parties were the Police, and the Criminals both intent on finding the murderer to save their reputation).

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
M is also a masterpiece structured with the kind of perfection that calls to mind both poetry and architecture and that makes even his disciples' classics seem minor by comparison.
Lang himself correctly maintained to the end of his life that M was his best film--not so much for its formal beauty as for the social analysis that its form articulates.
M periodically uses that signature, the camera most often poised over the streets of the city at night--creating images that spell out the basics of noir long before anyone dreamed up that generic term.

 Frankenstein (1931)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The opening setting for the film is certainly impressive, with the tearful mourners and the 'mad' doctor and henchman lurking in the background, waiting to take the freshly buried corpse (He's just resting, waiting for a new life to come).
Colin Clive sets the tone for the movie as he tosses a big shovel full of dirt in the face of the statue of Death that's positioned behind him.
Clive is really the star in this one and it's his performance that kept me into this one for the most part, particularly the unforgettable sequence as he gives life to the monster in front of the stunned eyes of his soon to be wife Elizabeth, Victor, and his old mentor Dr. Waldman.

 Scifilm -- Musings, M (1931)
The first ten minutes of the movie manages to capture the horror of the situation without showing a shred of violence; it's done entirely through suggestion, images, and editing, and it's blood-chilling.
I'm also surprised at how much humor is to be found in the movie when you consider the subject matter; in fact, one of my favorite comic moments of all time is in this film (specifically, Lohmann's reaction when he discovers what the criminals were looking for in the office building).
I also love the editing; the part where the movie cuts back and forth between two meetings, one with the police and the other with the criminals, is engrossing.

Originally the movie was supposed to be an urban remake of the 1931 Peter Lorre thriller "M," one of the first critically acclaimed "talkies." That movie was about ordinary criminals and policemen who team up to track down a child serial killer.
As for the "imaginary sequel" accusation, that's not because of the peculiarly placed number in the title (which is just "ghetto slang"), but because this is the third film in a row from director Andrzej Bartkowiak to feature rapper DMX and supposed comedian Anthony Anderson.

This 1931 film was Fritz Lang's first sound picture, after becoming a world-renowned silent director during the 1920's.
The Search: During the movie, the police try various tactics, profiling the suspect, using handwriting experts, police dogs, it was even suggested that they use a psychic to try and locate the murderer.
It was intriguing to see a 1931 version of all of these tactics; having seen dozens of cops-and-robbers films, we're all aware of how they work now; it was cool to see a 1931 manhunt MADE in 1931.
