I highly recommend Manhunter.

Manhunter is out on blu as part of the Hannibal Lector Collection, but I'd have a hard time recommending it. While the PQ/AQ is solid for a film of this vintage (no dnr thankfully), the disc is bare bones, and the PQ of Hannibal is appalling (bare bones as well).

......and Manhunter is better than Red Dragon imho (though I didn't hate Red Dragon).

Yea, I noticed that there was a two movie set but I am not a huge fan of SotL. Though my friend's wife loves it, so maybe I could just give it to her and that would force them to finally buy a BD player.

I'm not a fan of Manhunter. I haven't seen it in awhile, but what I remember of it was, it seemed like an extended Miami Vice episode. Very made for TV qualitiy to it.

On the other hand, I saw Red Dragon in the theater and don't remember a thing about it.

Ralph Fiennes makes Red Dragon a better movie then Manhunter. He makes Dolarhyde's character seem so twisted. Brett Ratner actually did a good job, compared to the other garbage he has filmed...

Brett Ratner ruined the Hanniabl series with RED DRAGON. The guy doesn't know how to dierct a film and it's not the first frnachise he's ruined. Look what he did with the 3rd X MEN film. As far as MANHUNTER, a far superior film by a guy who knows how to make movies. I'll take MANHUNTER any day of the week.
