The Buster Keaton Chronicles (6 Disc Box Set) [DVD]
3.  The Buster Keaton Chronicles (6 Disc Box Set) [DVD] DVD ~ Buster Keaton

George Formby - Comic Icons [DVD]
5.  George Formby - Comic Icons [DVD] DVD ~ George Formby

Mae West - Screen Goddess [DVD]
7.  Mae West - Screen Goddess [DVD] DVD ~ Mae West
The list author says:
  "Put away any preconceptions of Mae just being a smutty lady.  Her sauciness is in the best comedic manner and she's a gem.  'I'm No Angel' is a standout film.  One of my top ten."

Metropolis -- Two Disc Special Edition [DVD]
8.  Metropolis -- Two Disc Special Edition [DVD] DVD ~ Brigitte Helm
The list author says:
  "An amazing film and superb restorative work.  I show this to friends who think silent films mean bad acting, worn out 'fast' prints and tinkly piano music and this ALWAYS wins them over."

The Bride of Frankenstein [DVD]
10.  The Bride of Frankenstein [DVD] DVD ~ Boris Karloff
The list author says:
  "OK,  This is no longer scary, but I'm not sure that it ever was.  It is a beauty though, blending pathos, chills and camp comedy.  Ernest Thesiger's turn 'almost' steals the picture."
£5.17   Used & New from: £1.99

Sherlock Holmes - The Definitive Collection (Digitally Remastered) [DVD]
11.  Sherlock Holmes - The Definitive Collection (Digitally Remastered) [DVD] DVD ~ Sherlock Holmes

The Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan Collection [DVD]
12.  The Johnny Weissmuller Tarzan Collection [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "No one has bettered Johnny Weismuller's Tarzan.  Pretty good prints here, and great pre-CGI action and location shots.  As the series went on so the family (Cheetah, Jane, Boy) became part of ours."

The list author says:
  "Not Jolson's best, but great film history.  Not really a talkie at all, mainly silent with a few songs and a bit of dialogue, but the extras of the Vitaphone films on this edition are great."
