Faust (1926,  Unrated)
Faust
A prime example of that old chestnut "they don't make them like they used to". Pretty much flawless on every level and the type of film they should force modern directors to watch before letting them near their multi-million dollar budgets. Highly recomended

La Grande illusion (The Grand Illusion) (1937,  Unrated)
La Grande illusion (The Grand Illusion)
Subtle anti-war movie that benefits from fluid camera work, charismatic acting and an intelligent script. Highly recommended.

The Maltese Falcon (1941,  Unrated)

Metropolis (1927,  Unrated)
Metropolis
A visually stunning film whose influence can be found in countless Science Fiction films that followed. Despite being cut, restored and generally mishandled over its 80 year history, the presentation in the R2 Eureka disc is simply sublime. The crisp picture quality and restored musical score allow the viewer to revel in the film's superb production values. Supporting this visual element is an engaging plot and strong performances from the main characters and supporting cast.

Whilst the appeal of a two hour silent film may not be to everyone's taste, any self-respecting fan of cinema should at least rent this truly visionary piece of art.

Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (The Witches) (Haxan)
