Long before special effects, there were movies that relied solely on a compelling story to grip the viewer. One film that has managed to stand the test of time, even against today's Hollywood blockbusters is M, a brilliant, spine-tingling thriller about a murderer preying on a German city. With the police clamping down hard on crime as they search for the murderer, even organised criminals can't conduct their shady business - so the criminals themselves try to find the killer.
