I'm interested in City Girl for some reason.

I do believe it's part of the big Murnau/Borzage box due out this winter.

I haven't seen any of these films but I like many of the titles.
-Le Chiffre: You changed your shirt, Mr Bond. I hope our little game isn't causing you to perspire.

-James Bond: A little. But I won't consider myself to be in trouble until I start weeping blood.

1. Tabu
2. Nosferatu
3. Sunrise
4. Faust

5. Tartuffe
6. City Girl
7. The Last Laugh



I'll be honest, I was underwhelmed by Sunrise at first but have grown to appreciate it more in hindsight.  Would definitely like to see it again.

It's really excellent, and definitely worth a rewatch. It's top 5 all time for me.

I'm just mad that in film school I was shown The Golem and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and not Metropolis or any of these beauties.
