Michael "Casablanca" Curtiz, super-producer Alexander Korda, even Béla Legosi — they and other talented compatriots left Hungary in the early-20th century, anglicized their names, and impressed themselves on our nascent cinema. The awesome, Korda-supervised Thief of Baghdad is an essential pic in this series, as is a 25th-anniversary screening of Jim Jarmusch's bottled LES in Stranger Than Paradise (star Eszter Balint lends the US-to-Budapest cred). Lugosi appears made-up in Dracula and The Mummy (plus the Lubitsch-touched Ninotchka), while Ken Russell's rock opera Lisztomania presents a gonzo rivalry between Wagner and Hungary's finest.
