Doktor Caligari'nin Muayenehanesi(Das Kabinett des Dr. Caligari, 1919), Alman sinemasının bu dönemini(Altın Çağ 1918-1927) simgeleyen ve en çok tartışılan filmdir. Anlattığı gizemli cinayet öyküsünün yanı sıra resimli panolardan oluşan dekorları, boyayla elde edilmiş gölgeleri, eğik bacalı, yamuk duvarlı evleriyle filmin yarattığı fantastik ve ürkütücü dünya bugün bile ilgiyle izlenmesini sağlamaktadır. Film, döneminde ve sonrasında, pek çok övgüler aldığı gibi, aynı ölçüde eleştirilmiştir. Öyleki "kaligarizm" bir terim haline gelmiştir.
