They're both great. But if you're looking to flip, look elsewhere.

Dunno about flipability, but the fact that the Sorcerers are all signed by Friedkin is pretty damn cool.

This is the guy who directed The French Connection and The Exorcist. Not exactly a lightweight.

I think they're both neat. I like the Sorcerer more. But i've never seen either movie, which needs to change.

The Sorcerer is great. Definitely a future iso for me. Best work Shaw's done in a while I think.

Borgman has been on my "watch list" for a while now, and it's currently playing at my local independent theater. Will catch it tonight. I am pretty sure I will enjoy the film, so will most likely pick up the print. Think Jay did a great job with it.

Do you mean (by original subject matter) you would like Mondo to release some non-movie themed prints?
Well, I know Mondo is tied to Alamo Drafthouse, so they're kind of drawn to the world of cinema. However, I'd like to think given their relationships with artists, they could probably be successful doing something non-movie based.

I'd actually like to see more print art done for books, as they don't traditionally have a dominant visual component to their medium (aside from the bookcovers, and various illustrations throughout, of course).

Didn't care for the Sorcerer print, but I like the Borgman. Picked one up. Glad they didn't sell out super fast so I could get one.
