Was looking at that yesterday, after the post in 'Second look' about Thief. My old VHS recorded off of network was about worn-out by the time I burned it to DVD, shows it's age poorly. Should be worth the price, and another great Tangerine Dream soundtrack. And............ did you note this >

The original from '53. A classic film noir, with Yves Montand. Definitely a pair to have in the library.  :thumb:

Sorcerer is a great flick that was sadly left cold at the box office. I prefer it over the original Wages of Fear. I always wished the DVD had a scope aspect rather than the full frame, but it was always claimed that Friedkin preferred it. I'm getting this one and also:

Released: 24 Mar 2014

Starring: David Keith, Cathy Moriarty, Alan Rosenberg
Directed by: Donald Cammell

Overview: THE ONLY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A HUNTER AND A KILLER …IS HIS PREY

A serial killer is on the loose in and around the small community of Globe, Arizona, and housewife Joan White (Cathy Moriarty) gradually comes to suspect that her opera-loving hi-fi engineer husband Paul (David Keith) might know more than he’s letting on...

So far so familiar, but in the hands of British visionary Donald Cammell (who wrote and co-directed Performance with Nicolas Roeg), the film becomes a dazzling kaleidoscope of images and ideas, spanning everything from Apache folklore, desert landscapes and stylish murder set-pieces that recall Dario Argento to a painfully vivid dissection of the emotional fissures undermining a modern marriage. It’s all set to an equally eclectic score co-written by Pink Floyd’s Nick Mason.

Described by the distinguished critic David Thomson as "one of the great secret works in cinema", White of the Eye is one of the most bizarre and unforgettable thrillers ever made.

Special Features:
-New high definition digital transfer
-Newly commissioned artwork
-Collector’s booklet
-More to be announced!
