I want to see
Die Nibelungen.
My appreciation of Fritz Lang's work has skyrocketed now that I am able to watch the films in high definition. His utilization of shadows and framing is well-suited for watching the films on Blu-ray. The Criterion releases of
M and
Ministry of Fear are both near-flawless, and the Twilight Time Blu-ray of
The Big Heat is one of my favorites in my collection. I just received the Kino Blu-ray of
Scarlet Street in the mail a few days ago, and am looking forward to revisiting it and seeing how the improved transfer comes across.
I've been waiting for the price of
Metropolis to drop, but I'll probably pick it up over Christmas at a Barnes & Noble sale. I was fortunate to see the Complete Restoration on the big screen a few years back, and the Kino DVD got a lot of play after that.
