I don't think you'll be disappointed. I first read them before having seen many of the films -- now, older & wiser, with a head full of images (esp. the silent film era stuff) I'm appreciating them all over again & on a deeper level. A spiritual aspect creeps into these works which is less explicit in his other writing (tho always implicit, I wd argue).
I think I'm going to be taking it a couple of pages at a time. (In fact, this is how I often feel when reading Deleuze: initial buzz of energy but also 'interference' like a jamming of signals. Re-reading later, I find things have come into focus. The air has cleared. Strange.)
Looking again at Derrida. The opening essay on Form in 'Writing and Difference' is useful for 'Riddles' I think.

I've started in on Chapter One - heady stuff.
