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.
