i have their "restored authorized edition" of the cabinet of dr. caligari as well, which is also super impressive.

i'd love to see these films in proper releases.
all i have are those public domain 1$ shitty versions - pretty much unwatchable

yeah, i had those for the longest time. scrambled black-and-white mess, ugh...those are wretched.
the kino releases are amazing. caligari is even tinted according to original specifications.

there's a really nice phantom release too that supposedly looks great, although i have yet to purchase it: http://www.amazon.com/Phantom-Opera-...1320720&sr=1-7

In certain ways, it's an atrocity, but in others, I think it's a real boon. A few months back, I wrote an article on the subject and put it up on this crappy site. In certain ways, I'm all for the dollaring of classic cinema. Kino and Criterion do good work, but the $1 transfer serves a pretty cool purpose.

So is this new Nosferatu restoration. Just had a peek at a few scenes and a documentary on the process. Goddamn!


Right now DeepDiscount.com is having a Kino sale. I got each of the forementioned releases for $15. They've got a rediculous amount of good stuff for unbeatable prices- ten more days!

I've only seen The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari once it was pretty amazing on the big sceen. I haven't even come across a shitty $1 version over here to check it out again.
