If you like Nosferatu, try The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.
Classic Cinemas Online dot com has quite a few streaming movies that are out of copyright.
Both the Mr Moto with Peter Lorre and Mr Wong with Boris Karloff are pretty good crime mysteries if you like that sort of thing. Funny how guys known for horror movies both played Asians in detective films.
The B&W horror films they made during the 1950s and early '60s were often pretty good, even if they look pretty cheesy now. I grew up with them on television, so I have a taste for them. One of the scariest movies of my childhood was Invaders from Mars. A boy sees a space ship come down near his house, and people are gradually taken over by aliens. People joke about the rubber alien suits now, but it scared the crap out of me at the time.
I did like Young Frankenstein. There's some movies that really need color, but plenty could be done in black and white and be at least as good if not better. When you take out color, you make things less real and more dramatic.
