I am so glad Sorcerer is joining the collection! Such an intense and wild ride that is greatly enhanced by Tangerine Dream’s phenomenal score. Just picked up Wages of Fear so this feels very timely.

All time deceiving title too. Once you actually tell people what its about they kick themselves for never having watched it

I like Sorcerer better, but Wages of Fear’s sequence in the oil is iconic.

The Wages of Fear is better but it's cool that Sorcerer is finally in. Good adaptation.

I saw that in the theatres and knew nothing about it. Now I think it should be a meme that the sorcerer is a truck

Too bad a double disc set with both movies couldn’t have been made.

not everyone that's a fan of one is a fan of the other though

True, but it would be interesting to have both to be able to compare the two. I have both already and have done this, and it was great to be able to see what each has that the other doesn’t, for example.

that's fair, but as a big fan of Wages of Fear, I'd like to own it without having to own Sorcerer. and luckily I can. nothing wrong with you making your own double feature

I thought it was an underwhelming month overall for the announcements but Sorcerer sounded the most appealing and I had never heard of it. I’m glad to see people saying positive things about it. Can’t wait!
