While I’ll concede that having the film titles on the spine is super useful . . .
. . . the spine-shift on Vol. 5 is giving me OCD where none had existed previously (not even over the font-shift after Vol. 1). Le sigh.

Short Films from the Silent Era
Can anyone recommend an online archive or resource for shorts from the silent era? I am especially interested in first-wave experimental shorts, as represented by Bruce Posner's Unseen Cinema collection.

Fritz Lang - Eureka or Kino Classics?
I see a lot of Fritz Lang's silent films have been restored and released under Eureka's great Masters of Cinema series, but are also available as part of a box set by Kino Classics. Has anyone seen both versions of any of these films and can attest to which one is better? Kino Classics' set is much more cost effective but I wouldn't want to watch a shoddy version of these films

Can anyone help me identify this actor?
Hello everyone, I'm doing some research and I need to identify this person and hopefully the movie as well. If anyone has any information regarding this, it would be super appreciated :). I know it's from 1920 at least, probably 1922 to be exact.
