Not so much a movie (although two movies exist with that title) but a character. Mephiso is of course, the devil in Faust I + II, the drama written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, generally considered the German play per se. I read it first at school (and loved it); I listened to the most famous production with Gustav Gründgens as Mephisto on lp so often that I know long stretches by heart; I used parts for auditioning pieces; I designed a stage for it – in other words, Faust and Mephisto have been with me for a long time.
There is a movie called Méphisto from 1931 with Jean Gabin, and Mephisto with Klaus Maria Brandauer, which won the 1982 Oscar for Best Foreign Film.
