Nosferatu

Plot hole: When Nosferatu is caught in the sunlight towards the end, his reflection can be seen in the tall standing mirror in the corner of the room. This makes no sense because vampires do not cast reflections. Deliberate or not, in the original Bram Stoker novel, there is a scene in which the character Harker is shaving, and is disturbed to see that the Count casts no reflection. There is also a passage that states, "He throws no shadow, he make in the mirror no reflect." Some would argue that the rising of the sun robs him of his powers, giving him the reflection. But his reflection is visible before the rooster starts crowing, before the sun even rises.

Trivia: After Bram Stoker's widow Florence successfully sued the film's producers for plagiarism, the court ordered that all copies of the film be destroyed. About five prints survived, however. All of today's versions of "Nosferatu" have been reproduced from those prints.
