Freaks is the one that I know most about - its a truly amazing film, brilliantly made, with a great stoyline. For loads of great information about the director and all his films see http://www.imdb.com/ - a great website in my opinion.

Tod Browning's career basically consisted of many low budget silent films until he began to work as a director of Horror films starring "the man of a thousand faces" Lon Chaney Senior. The most famous Lon Chaney film Browning Directed was London After Midnight (1927), this film was basically a mystery about a vampire where Chaney played several of the main characters.
The success Browning had with Chaney allowed him to direct Universal Pictures 1931 version of Dracula (starring Bela Lugosi) - a phenomenal success.
After Dracula Browning was given free reign with his next project - Freaks. This featured real "freaks" including midgets, pin-heads, conjoined twins... and is in many ways a true masterpiece. Unfortunately the film was too shocking and Browning's career was ruined... he never regained his good name and Freaks was "banned" from being screened for longer than any other film in cinema history.

Yes, you can Google it, of course, but know that he was a GREAT early 1930s director, of, for example Freaks, perhaps THE classic cult film, and the first talking Dracula picture, and every one of his directorial efforts is well worth viewing.
