My husband is a Charlie Chan fan. It doesn't matter who is in the starring role. Our purchase proved to be most entertaining and met every expectation for intrigue and suspense. Good purchase. read full review | report as inappropriate
There were more than forty made between 1931 and 1949, Swedish actor Warner Oland appearing in 16 of them, Sidney Toler in 22 and Roland Winters in a round half dozen... Before the appearance of Chan, screen Orientals were often... read full review | report as inappropriate

Who would have guessed that a silent film from nearly a hundred years ago would still be one of the most poignant science fiction films ever created? Proving that story is more important than CGI, Metropolis delivers a stirring film that explores... read full review | report as inappropriate
I bought a copy of this film, but was disappointed to find that I couldn't watch past chapter 22-23; the image wouldn't play, no matter what I did. So I bought another. Same problem. There's a line across the top of the DVD, so there's likely... read full review | report as inappropriate
"Metropolis" is one of the great early films, as the ton of material written about it attests. The transfer presented on Kino is extremely crisp and is made from the best sources. There are wonderfully informative extras: one can tell Kino was... read full review | report as inappropriate

Probably one of my favorite films ever made, `La Passion de Jeanne d'Arc' is an extraordinary accomplishment in the world of motion picture cinema. It is silent, but it never lacks a voice; it is black and white yet never void of color; it is... read full review | report as inappropriate
Um, excuse me (you extremely long-winded) guys...... but the fact that this film is mastered, or "projected", if you will, at a speed in excess of the speed at which it was photographed makes it DAMN NEAR IMPOSSIBLE TO WATCH! I mean, come on, is... read full review | report as inappropriate
OK, the verdict is in: it's art. I've seen this movie twice on Turner Classic Movies. The film quality is surprisingly good for a silent movie and it is often beautiful, but the camera lingers for far too long, far too often.... read full review | report as inappropriate

"Modern Times" is one of Charlie Chaplin's most memorable films. In this movie, the Tramp joins the ranks of the unemployed, and eventually teams up with a poor girl (Paulette Goddard) who's trying to make her way in the world. Like all Chaplin... read full review | report as inappropriate
Almost everyone who has reviewed this film gave it 5 stars, and the lowest it got from anyone was 4. Well, too bad. This is a dreadful film. I laughed about 4 times during the whole thing. A lot of predictable, obvious,... read full review | report as inappropriate
Charlie Chaplin was minimally a Communist fellow traveler. A staunch supporter of the Soviet Union, he once told an interviewer with the "Daily Worker" that we should "Thank God for Communism." At the very best, Chaplin could be described as a... read full review | report as inappropriate

My Husband and I really enjoyed this DVD. It is very interesting, and fun to watch, and too cool! It feels like you are going back 100 years, as it would have been at a mid day show at a small theater. Just great, highly recomended!! read full review | report as inappropriate
Perhaps it's not fair for me to judge this collection. I'm looking at this DVD with an upscaling DVD player on a High Definition Video Projector on a huge screen, so I'm seeing many more transfer flaws than most people, and really that was my only... read full review | report as inappropriate

An experimental film in its day, and still today, BERLIN: SYMPHONY OF A GREAT CITY is presented as one day in the life of the city--Berlin, in 1929. In fact, the footage was taken over a longer period of time, and evidence of every season of the... read full review | report as inappropriate
Visually, this is a very good product, with excellent b&w film of 1920's Berlin. The musical accompaniment was appropriate, but very faintly recorded and TV volume had to be on full in order to obtain sound at a moderate level. read full review | report as inappropriate

This 2-disk set is a great resource for those interested in "The Gold Rush," Charlie Chaplin's 1925 comedy about Alaskan gold prospecting. The main disk contains the 1942 re-release, which did away with interscene placards, replacing them with a... read full review | report as inappropriate
Charlie Chaplin's "The Gold Rush" is a mixed bag. The film itself is uneven as it is entertaining for certain stretches and just adequate in others. Yet the general public as a whole still owe it a measure of thanks for its contribution of the... read full review | report as inappropriate
With two DVDs and a high budget at their disposal, the producers of this DVD should have been able to give us the film as it was originally intended to be seen. But no -- in this set, you get two versions, neither of which even came close to... read full review | report as inappropriate

This is a really fun film. First off, it's fun to watch an experimental film documenting the Soviet Union in the late 1920s. Second, the grammar of the film is very peculiar. The opening shot turns the camera on the viewer. The ideas... read full review | report as inappropriate
Some early films continue to shine because of their artistry. Others get devalued because technology has dated them. This is ond of the latter. I found this film collage of life in 1929 Russia to be dull. Editing which might have seemed... read full review | report as inappropriate
seriously, I can see how the camera work might of blown people away back when this was made (especially the scene in the factory where it keeps flicking like a strob to all the loud factory noise.) but today it just wont excite. Like the first... read full review | report as inappropriate
