    I second the recommendation for the MoC discs of CITY GIRL and SUNRISE. You couldn't ask for better transfers.

    I still haven't caught up with this box set, but some of you may be interested in this English-friendly German DVD -- from Edition Filmuseum, a label that releases many early films from German directors who later migrated to the USA. The River (199) is a fine respectable transfer, and the...

    I hefted one in Costco a couple of days ago. The weight of it is impressive. The box-set has the authority of weight(!). Costco cost: $180. Maybe after the holidays.

    I see what you mean, if Fox breaks this box up into sets, there's not enough Murnau for a smaller box-set. Unless they include one of the books with it? Well, I'm sure they'll think of something. I'm particularly eager to set my eyes on City Girl. Sunrise I've come to know, but Borzage is like...

    I hefted this box in the store the other day. I would be surprised if Fox did not break up the Murnau / Borzage box into separate sets eventually, as they did with the Ford box. No book with the Ford sets, but you get the films at a reasonable price and that's the important thing.
