I’m a HUGE Alice Guy Blache fan, I’ve written a few essays on her. My focus of studying as of late has been women filmmakers in the silent era.
If you have Kanopy, there are several of her films streaming, namely the ones from Flicker Alley. I know that Netflix US has (some) of the Kino box set on there, and off the top of my head i know her film “Falling Leaves” is there, which is essential imo. One of my absolute favorite films from the early 1910s.
Beyond streaming, if you want to explore her works (as well as other silent female filmmakers), I cannot recommend these sets enough:
Kino’s Pioneers: First Women Filmmakers
Flicker Alley’s Early Women Filmmakers
Gaumont Treasures: 1897-1913
If i had more time, I’d add some book recommendations so maybe I’ll add some when i have more time!
Good luck finding this: http://www.milestonefilms.com/products/martin-scorsese-presents-masterpieces-of-polish-cinema
The Herschell Gordon Lewis Feast is also amazing! http://www.diabolikdvd.com/category/Grindhouse-Classics/Herschell-Gordon-Lewis-Feast-Box-(Arrow-US)-(DVD-[sl]-Blu~Ray-Combo).html
Dekalog and other tv films - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dekalog-Other-Works-Dual-Format-Blu-ray/dp/B01IBXNKX6
Three of the best boxsets to come out this year.
Olive Signature put out some beautiful Blu-Rays (where they are now a top NA restoration Blu-Ray company along with Criterion, Flicker Alley, and Arrow for the US).
You can still get Don Hertzfeldt's autograph on his Blu-Ray: http://www.bitterfilms.com
Boutique Blu-Ray is also a good place to ask.
Pictures of A Revolution
Book about the history of the 5 movies that were nominated for Best Picture at the 1968 Oscars. This is a pretty pivotal year in American history - especially for films.
The book is filled with great stories and a ton of context and information about how all those movies got made and developed - and the culture of moviemaking and movie watching at the time. It helps demonstrate why those particular movies were such game changing pieces of film in American movie history.
I've been wondering the same thing. I love Fassbinder and I've seen most of his movies. This is one of the big ones that I haven't. Thankfully Hulu Plus has a lot of his stuff, including some of my favorites. I really hope Mother Kusters Goes to Heaven comes out! May I also recommend a book if you like Fassbinder? Check out Fassbinder: The Life And Work Of A Provocative Genius.
OK, so it seems like he likes the weird visual stuff - this is sort of expensive, but you might want to look at the Cremaster book. It's the art of Matthew Barney from the film series (which is unavailable on disc, except for an excerpt on DVD from Cremaster 3). The book though is really big and beautifully designed, with lots of the strange artwork and visuals from the film series. A really handsome art book that's film related.
Yeah, Egoyan's Exotica. It's a great read.
yeah, i was just curious. Amazon and hpb are my only sources at the moment.
In the Blink of an Eye (Walter Murch)
Shot by Shot (Steven D. Katz)
Making Movies (Sidney Lumet)
Hitchcock/Truffaut (Francois Truffaut)
Something Like An Autobiography (Akira Kurosawa)
​
Those are all must reads, in my opinion. But this is just off the top of my head. I'm not next to my bookshelf at the moment, so this is the best I can do right now! =)
​
EDIT: Back with round two.
Seductive Cinema (James Card)
Orson Welles's Last Movie: The Making of the Other Side of the Wind (Josh Carp)
A Hundred Years of Japanese Film (Donald Richie)
All the Emperor's Men: Kurosawa's Pearl Harbor (Hiroshi Tasogawa)
Making Documentary Films and Videos (Barry Hampe)
The Haunted Screen (Lotte Eisner)
This is the best book I've read on getting a real insight on prolific filmmaker's process. It's really a fantastic and informative read:
Moviemakers' Master Class: Private Lessons from the World's Foremost Directors
...years ago I bought a huge compendium of weird horror fiction. That was the first time I read Daphne du Maurier's "Don't Look Now"
...then, I had a professor, who loves the Criterion Collection, tell me about the film when it released on CC. I had no idea there was a movie too. :) Now, I love it.
If you didn't want to wait till late May, the UK edition is good for any region Blu-Ray players. Though I'm not sure what the differences are in terms of special features.
https://www.amazon.com/Barton-Fink-Blu-ray-John-Turturro/dp/B007Y5G1RA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1491861241&sr=8-1&keywords=barton+fink+blu+ray
Robin Wood's book called Ingmar Bergman is one of the best things I've read on him. https://www.amazon.ca/Ingmar-Bergman-Robin-Wood/dp/0814333605/ref=sr_1_3?qid=1549907960&refinements=p_27%3ARobin+Wood&s=books&sr=1-3. It's pricey but worth it.
Ayoade on Ayoade: A Cinematic Odyssey :)
https://www.amazon.com/An-Elephant-Sitting-Still-Blu-ray/dp/B07Z74Q298?tag=bluray-012-20&linkCode=xm2&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER
here you go, company called Kimstim, which I don't know much about. Although they have another Chinese movie which I am really interested in watching: Angels Wear White
A book of David Lynch's art? Interviews with filmmakers (in that vein, may I recommend Lynch on Lynch)? If you hone in on specific directors, there's a lot out there to explore.
I really dig Taschen's Movies of the... series.
The Film Handbook by Geoff Andrew
I'm a Born Liar: A Fellini Lexicon
And if you like Orson Welles, even though it's not strictly about film, My Lunches with Orson is hilarious and an engrossing read.
I was talking about this: https://www.amazon.com/Resealable-Plastic-Wrap-Sleeves-500-Pak/dp/B000Q1Q08Y . I saw people do this to their collection and it made me wonder if it's worth it..
No problem and if you do enjoy the works of Demy I would recommend this book as a subelement read
https://www.amazon.com/History-French-Cinema-Wisconsin-Studies/dp/0299217043
I have this book. Good reference for the history of the movement and significant filmmakers.

It’s $61.89 on Amazon.ca. You might be able to get it at 40 to 50% off when B&N does it’s blu-ray sale, although the set might be excluded.
Nah mate it's your Three Colours set I've got my eyes on. I have Arrow's Dekalog boxset which is a decent alternative while I wait for Criterion, but the Three Colours options aren't great.
