I tried watching "Nosferatu" a few years ago, and couldn't get through the 30 min mark. Its not that the movie sucked, but watching all of those people and realizing that there is a very good chance that most of them are long dead just made me depressed. I seem to have this invisible barrier that doesn't let me watch movies made before 1960 or so. There are a few exceptions though, classics that I watched but I almost felt like I forced myself to watch them. For some old movies it was my fascination on the subject or with the actor themselves.
