MANHUNTER... far better than the remake, RED DRAGON, and personally I think that Brian Cox (no, not the scientist fella!) is way better than Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector...

Here's a nice William Petersen interview, the underrated actor talking about MANHUNTER for this podcast:

I finally watched The Keep recently and it was fantastic! Been searching for a bluray version since you mentioned it here and i found a spanish edition. Fun fact: a friend of mine is a friend of the manager of Tangerine Dream. I read that Michael Mann is not satisfied with the version due to financial shortcuts and his vision was a much longer version of the film and that much material he shot has not made it to the final cut/theatrical version.
ever tried. ever failed. no matter.
try again. fail again. fail better.

I also have the spanish edition, which is basic (no extras) but offers a very nice picture quality. As I'm a big fan of this film (and Mann's movies in general), I also own the very expensive but very classy australian 4K Blu-ray edition from Imprint...Master Ray, if you're reading this...!  ;) 8):

 By the way, I still haven't seen "Ferrari"! Last I heard, Mann is supposed to be shooting the sequel/prequel to "Heat" next year... I don't know if that's good news, but I'm still hoping for at least a good thriller.

Fun fact: a friend of mine is a friend of the manager of Tangerine Dream

Please ask your friend to beg Tangerine Dream's manager to release the complete soundtrack of THE KEEP on CD/vinyl!!! The soundtrack to THE KEEP has NEVER been officially released on CD/vinyl, because I suppose there were some issues between Tangerine Dream and their record label at the time. But it's very frustrating because it's my favorite soundtrack of theirs and I would love to own it on CD/vinyl!

I just posted a question about The Keep in the other thread :D...
And i will do that. My friend wanted to invite me to that guy and when it happens, i will ask him. I think there will be some information about the rights and distribution and i don't think he is srtill in professional connection with TD and releasing is always about money first, but i will tell him, that i know that at least 10.000 french people will buy an overpriced edition of that soundtrack ;-)
