Don't know you, don't pretend to.
But I am familiar with a certain kind of thinking that overlooks egregious flaws in old movies because they have an established reputation.
In my posts regarding the Lugosi DRACULA I've admitted I something similar myself, ignoring that film's shortcomings because they are outweighed (for me at least) by its virtues.
The difference is I at least admit the flaws exist. Unfortunately the defenders of NOSFERATu prefer to turn a blind eye to the molassas-like pacing and the anti-Semitic subtext.
