Vilmos Zsigmond's anamorphic lensing is terrific and the often whimsical John Williams score is one of his best and most underrated.
Scream giving us SE's of DEAD CALM, as well as Brian De Palma's FEMME FATALE and THE FURY (which features another wonderful John Williams score) would certainly make my 2020.  |
As usual I'm with you MJD, especially for FEMME FATALE as I don't think that has shown up on blu anywhere in the world. I have the Arrow FURY but would buy an upgrade with more extras - like you I'm a sucker for De Palma!
