The Raven
This biographical film chronicles the immigration of Edgar Allan Poe's ancestors, the embittered life Poe led and his early and untimely death all within the framework of his famous poem. While the source materials are undoubtedly less than ideal, the subject matter (and rarity of the film) should allow for some forgiveness of these weaknesses.
