And like to see the prior version of Metropolis Eureka did on dvd (before they added in all the ultra-damaged scenes on their last blu release) released to blu ray as well
There are remarkably few of his films not out on blu-ray:

(1) His first two films, Halbblut and Der Herr der Liebe are lost.

(2) The Last Will of Dr. Mabuse, a French-language version of The Testament of Dr. Mabuse filmed at the same time, was on the Criterion DVD of Testament. Whether it'll get upgraded when/if Criterion decides to upgrade Testament is anyone's guess (mine is "probably not").

(3) Fury needs a lot more restoration work before it's ready for blu-ray. Probably the same with Rancho Notorious and Clash by Night.

(4) No idea of the status of You and Me and The Blue Gardenia.

(5) American Guerilla in the Philippines is lost in the FoxMaus maw.
