The main aim of this paper was to find the similarities between the elements and the topics of selected films of the German expressionist movement, and to discover if those films with their topics, visuals, or with something else had any influence on Nazi propaganda. Those aspects were researched in the theory chapters, which included a search for propaganda posters as well as looking into Nazi propaganda films in an attempt to find the link. The three films that were selected and researched in this paper were The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari, Nosferatu, and Metropolis. The research part of this paper focused on perceptions of the selected films among modern critics and audiences. The research was done with the goal of discovering if modern audiences paid attention to the fact that those films were made in the period before the Second World War, just before the rise of Nazism. The research was carried out through the analysis of reviews on three different web platforms: IMDB (Internet Movie Database), Rotten Tomatoes, and Letterboxd. The results showed that modern audiences focus on the more positive aspects of those films, while only a small percentage of them notice the potential influence on propaganda. Recommendations for future research include looking into remakes of the films through different times in history, such as Nosferatu. It is also recommended to investigate films of other countries that existed under fascism, like Spain and Italy, as well as films that have fascism in the background. Regarding Germany itself, it is recommended to analyze the works of directors such as Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders, who judged Nazism and its influence in their work.
