This is a film that everyone who has any appreciation of classic silent cinema should have in their collections, IMHO.
Follow Ups:
I have it on laserdisc and have been looking for a DVD release. As of today, Amazon shows this as not yet having been released. I assume you have the DVD from a different region (I am in Region 1).
For a time Sunrise was offered free with the purchase of any three films in their Studio Classics collection; the requirement was to clip three proof of purchase coupons and send them in before Dec. 31, 2003, if I'm recalling the dates correctly. The good news: This was an very successful promotion and if I'm not mistaken 20th Century Fox decided to offer this film as part of a pre-packaged set; off hand I don't recall which 3 films or if the sets vary, but none of the films offered are weak choices. Anyway, you buy three selected films in a boxed set and get the fourth, the restored & remastered Sunrise, as a bonus. I'll check on this and try to get back with a follow-up.
Go to DVD Price Search (linked below), type in Studio Classics in their search engine (Title Keywords), and up will pop "Studio Classics: The Best Film Collection"Included in the set are, All About Eve, Gentleman's Agreement, How Green Was My Valley, and Sunrise. With competitive discounts offered by several vendors you can pick the set up for under $30 including S&H!
THAT'S a great deal, IMHO.
Cheers,

Thanks for the info and the follow up. Unfortunately I already have two of the three I'd have to buy so I guess I'll wait until the "Sunrise" DVD is offered by itself.
