The only one I can think of is "Casablanca."

Metropolis is coming at the end of the year. So are some other Fritz Lang movies.

Although not B&W, Wizard of Oz and Gone With the Wind are coming to Blu, too.

METROPOLOIS?  Is it a public domain cheapie or is a legit company releasing a good print?

2003, Kino Video released a restored [with all known, surviving footage) and authorized version. They're putting out the Blu-Ray version later this year.

Kino is putting a lot of effort in to this. I think it will be the first silent film on the medium.

Thanks guys.  Yeah, I actually have the KINO DVD version, I'm just surprised they're going the Blu-Ray route.  It's my understanding silent films are selling even less than normal these days, but I guess METROPOLIS isn't just "any" silent film and I guess a good place to start.
