Holy smokes, this is pretty shocking knowing your tastes. Get that Marlene Dietrich Glamour Collection set stat!! It has Blonde Venus (my favorite too), plus Morocco and The Devil is a Woman, as well as two non-Sternberg titles (which I haven't watched yet). Also, The Blue Angel and The Scarlet Empress are absolutely essential. The Dietrich/Sternberg movies are some of my favorites ever and, like I said earlier, knowing your tastes (which very often overlap with mine), these should be your favorites too.
My friend got me the Glamour Collection for my birthday last month and I got around to watching Blonde Venus one night but I wasn't able to find the time to watch the rest of the collection since I was catching up with 1950s and Vincente Minnelli movies, etc. But I swear I will make this summer all completely Marlene.

very interesting, i widely agree with the mentioning of the classics such as The Night of The Hunter, Ikiru, Ukigumo, Wild Strawberries and of course Sunset Blvd.

other favorites on my list are Kanal (Wajda) and Fanfare (Haanstra), but i doubt much people on here have seen the latter.
