Murnau, Lang and Lubitsch are all three worth collecting. With Pabst you need to be selective. No other German director interests me at all, and yeah, I've seen enough Fassbinder movies to dislike his work.

Here is a link to the Kino website: http://www.kino.com/video/item.php?product_id=1161 Thanks, Jazzy. I picked up the set. Can't pass up that deal. I do have a question, however, on the print quality of Nosferatu in this set. The Kino release for NOSFERATU, in 2007, was a 2-disc affair. The NOSFERATU in the new boxed set has the same extras, but everything is crammed on one disc. Does anyone know why Kino did this, or if this will hurt picture quality?
