Freaks is awesome because director Tod Browning (who also made Dracula with Bela Lugosi) casted people with actual disabilities. People with deformed skulls, amputees and the limbless, little people, hirsute women, conjoined twins, contortionists, strongmen, you name it, this film's got it. And it puts them on display as "freaks," which is so primitive ugh but it's one of the only movies I can think of that actually shows differently abled people, which is sad when you think about it.
