It's great Criterion opens them up to these types of films but after a while you'd think they'd branch out and buy titles from Kino or some other distributor but alas, the only foreign or classic movie you'll see them owning is all from Criterion.

Believe it or not...there are people from the UK that post on the Masters of Cinema forum that do the exact same thing with MoC blu-ray releases. I guess some people collect them for the sport of it...like slipcases and steelbooks.
Correction and addition for my last post:
I meant to say von Sternberg "silents" and NOT "shorts". They ARE silent, but not shorts...they are full length films.
And secondly...I bought the set!
Had a feeling that I would anyway!
