Kino Video
The well known movie company Kino Video (which, incidentally, it is actually Kino On Video - "Kino has more than one meaning, several derived from the fact that it stands for "movie theater" or "cinema" in several European languages") has a wonderful collection, especially of classic foreign films and many obscure silent and black and white titles. Their DVD collection is equally impressive with some of the finest films ever put onto cellluloid.
Featuring some of the foundations of cinema like D. W. Griffith and The Lumiere Brothers, to some of the gothic horror like
Metropolis, Nosferatu, The Golem and The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. They also feature modern pieces like The Piano Teacher by Michael Haneke, That Day by Paul Ruiz, and La Petite Jerusalem by Karin Albou.
Kino began by acquiring the distribution rights of the Janus Collection library theatrically in 1977. Since, they have been a major force in restating the classics as well as exporting modern world cinema in the theater.
In 1987, because no one wanted to distribute small art house films, they started their own label, thus Kino On Video. 
Now in the DVD market, they have produced some of the finest DVD's available today. Their DVD's show much care in both restoration of the classics as well as the mastering of the DVDs to give an excellent presentation of both form and function. Many of their DVD's come with exclusive material that is rarely seen elsewhere, whether they are extended or deleted sequences, documentaries or behind the scenes, or authoritative commentaries, Kino Video has come to be comparable in quality to The Criterion Collection.
Although they appear to have a tight reign on their library, sometimes their DVD's do get excised from their collection for one reason or another. So, below is a list of DVD's from Kino Video that are currently OOP or seemingly on their way out.
Please Note: though some of these DVD's are out of print, it may be very well that the edition is merely out of print, and not the title itself.
