5.0 out of 5 stars A Must-Have!!!, Mar 19 2004
By ANT "azraelart" (Crofton, MD USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of the best compilations of early cinema to date, and on DVD at that! I don't know how much you would care about the free posters, as they are repros, I'm not that big of a fan, but it is a nice bonus.

These are the films that defined cinema as it stands today. These are the films that began a long and wonderful history of entertainment. Everything from Eisenstein's montage theory ("Battleship Potempkin") to the shocking stark realities from D.W. Griffith ("Birth of a Nation") even to Weimar Cinema and culture (Fritz Lang's "Metropolis") and film noir ("Nosferatu"). These are the classics, the forefathers, the basis from which current techniques, themes, styles, and shots are drawn. What you have in this 12 DVD set is a slice of history, of the birth of cinema.

If you consider yourself a film fan, or if you enjoy a wide variety of classic movies, this truly is a must-own set. You simply cannot understand modern cinema without first viewing these classics. Enjoy!

1.0 out of 5 stars 8, Mar 10 2004
By Andrew Simmons (Fresno, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon recommends this to me, but there is no information at all about the contents of this package, except that it apparently contains something by D.W. Griffith. Are there films by other directors as well? Weird.
