Kaiju Fever: Die Nibelungen Siegfried (1924)

Fritz Lang's silent fantasy epic, which again isn't much of a Kaiju film but it does feature a 60ft dragon puppet (pictured above) in it's first 30 minutes which is super cool and one of the films best highlights. The film itself though is still rather great, visually beautiful with top notch production design. It's a 140 minute epic based on the epic poem 'Nibelungenlied' and is followed by a second part 'Kriemhilds Rache'. It ts quite an astonishing film that really shows the masterful talent of Fritz Lang. A very engaging silent fantasy, that is definitely worth checking it out.
