"M" by Fritz Lang (1931 masterpiece pre-dating film noir)

(117min)'M' is the story of a child murderer, loose in 1930's Berlin. Police are at a loss to find the serial killer; the criminal underground mounts an effort in order to distance themselves from the monster. A defining movie in early cinema, director Fritz Lang's first 'sound film' creeps through the shadowy world of film noir, long before such a genre existed, to portray the histeria in which a fearful society operates.

...yeah. The goebbels link is terrible.

I believe the movie is copyright free at this point, so if you see it in a store just pick it up and walk out with it... I think thats how it works...

The wikipedia article point out that M is one of the earliest films to give a character a music theme; "In the Hall of the Mountain King" plays in association with the killer's presence, to the extent that it signals to the audience when he's out of shot but nearby. A famous, modern version of this technique, called Leitmotif, is the Star Wars Imperial March theme that mirrors Darth Vader and the Dark Side on the screen and in the minds of viewers.
