King of New York blu - Blu-ray Forum

One of my all-time favourite crime movies to date, love it to bits. Wish the BD was region-free so I could upgrade here in the UK, but all online reports state it isn't. It took YEARS for the SE DVD to come out here in the UK, I imported the US one instead; I hold out no hope of the BD getting over here any time soon.

Also worth seeing from Ferrara, if you can find them:

Cat Chaser (adapting the Elmore Leonard novel with Peter Weller and a nude Kelly McGillis) - not bad, but there's supposed to be a MUCH longer workprint at Ferrara's house that has never seen public light.

Crime Story TV pilot - Ferrara shot episodes of Miami Vice, then did the pilot for this 60s crime saga from producer Michael Mann. Manages to make TV shriek with his style, rather than letting himself get completely declawed.

Body Snatchers - a more than worthy second remake, which actually feels much more like a further sequel to the original.

New Rose Hotel - one of three linked short stories cyberpunk godfather William Gibson made his name & mythos with, along with Johnny Mnemonic and the still-unfilmed Burning Chrome. Ferrara makes it more of a three-hander noir play than the original story, but imagine it set in the same world as Johnny Mnemonic and you'll see how it works. With Christoher Walken, Willem Dafoe and Asia Argento.

Still want to see his most recent, Mary - really interesting-looking trailer.
