there are three Golem movies - the original in 1915, the "lost" one in 1918, and the third one (which Janz mentioned) which is the most famous one (1922), because it is still resonant today and provides most of the basis for James Whale's version of
Frankenstein - my DVD comes with a scene comparison between the two movies
with one movie "lost", I'd doubt you get to see the trilogy
Hitler banned the Golem movies, in case you're interested
He also banned most Fritz Lang movies after Lang deserted Germany, except for the Uber Alles "Metropolis" and "Die Nibellungen" (both written by Nazi sympathiser and Lang's ex-wife Thea Harbour)
I have a strong interest in Weimar-era silent German films
