I didn't catch all of them, but I saw books on Luis Bunuel, Howard Hawks, Roberto Rosselini (sp?), and Ingmar Bergman. Those are all I caught.

Carl Dreyer. I noticed a book on Godard as well.

If my memory serves me well, the package contains books on Buñuel, Dreyer, Bresson, Godard, Lubitsch, Hawks, Hitchcock, Rossellini, Bergman. And the last one, although we cannot read the title, I bet is about Orson Welles.
