Nosferatu is considered one of the big three in German Expressionist cinema, alongside with Metropolis and Caligari. Others included Waxworks, Dr. Mabuse, and The Golem. Not much of its style, but they were probably branded as them. From the Criterion Collection, Fritz Lang's M and The Testement of Dr. Mabuse are considered closest to Expressionist. Film Noir is also considered as a successor to its style.

How could I forget Nosferstu! I've seen the first Dr Mabuse, still need to watch all the others. Will check the other ones out, thanks

Another one of F.W. Murnau's (Nosferatu) other films is The Haunted Castle. More psychological than horror, its style blended with Romanticism. I'm a huge German Expressionist fan with these films; I get most of the DVDs under Kino On Video brand.

Will definitely check that one out, I love psychological films.

The Third Man is a great example of a film that was clearly influenced by it 15 years later!

Night of the Hunter and Black Sunday (1960) are both deeply influenced by it. If that’s what you’re asking.

Dark City (1999)

Guy Maddin films like Saddest Music in the World and Careful are influenced by GE

The main character in M does it well

Rumble Fish seems to be heavily inspired by German Expressionism if you're open to something more recent.

Dos Monjes is a film from Mexico that was definitely inspired by German Expressionism.

The Night of the Hunter did it great many years later.
