RE: REVIEW : "The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari" (1920) - Movie by Robert Wiene
I watched this some time ago on a really terrible copy and still quite enjoyed it. I didn't realize they had done a re-mastering, I am going to have to look that up. I hadn't really pieced it together but as soon as you mentioned that this film was an inspiration to Tim Burton I could instantly see it, the scenery in some scenes could almost be transported whole cloth into one of his claymations.

Check out DeVito’s penguin man in Batman... Spitting image of Caligari :-)
Ha! You are right! LOL
Someone also compared Caligari to the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. I can see the similarities :-)
