At the moment I've only got a couple of silent films on DVD ("The Passion of Joan of Arc" and "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari"), but I'd like to purchase Murnau's "Nosferatu" and Griffith's "Intolerance." Things have become awfully complicated lately with two versions of "Intolerance" on the market and three of "Nosferatu." Has anyone done a comparison between the Image releases and the Kino releases? I'm most concerned about the quality of the transfers; extras are nice, but I'll probably only watch them once anyway, so my biggest concerns are that the picture looks as good as possible, the framing and projection speed are correct, etc. Any comments? I'm also really excited about the upcoming "Metropolis" DVD. I held off on buying the really poor-quality Madacy (?) release, hoping that the film would get the treatment it deserves, and hopefully Kino will come through on this one. Thanks for your responses!
