Steelbooks You'd Like Zavvi To Release!

[filmmusic]

I've just recently been caught in this zavvi steelbook craze, purchasing my first (Dick Tracy) and now 3 more that I'm waiting for.

I haven't seen a similar thread, so:

Can you name your 10 most wanted Blurays that you'd like to be released in a zavvi steelbook? (i thought to keep it at 10 so that you list your trully most wanted. of course, i assume we all would like hundreds of films in steelbooks )
they should be of course movies that could be released in a steelbook
(eg i'm sure a film like La Double Vie de Veronique, wouldn't be released).

I'm naming 5 that have been released as Blurays before and 5 that haven't been released in a Bluray.

steelbooks of Blurays already released:
- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990)
- Bram Stoker's Dracula (i'd prefer though a new restoration)
- Poltergeist
- King Kong (1976)
- Romancing the stone (this is the first film I ever saw at the cinema, and maybe the first live action film I ever saw generally, so it holds a special place in my heart)


steelbooks of Blurays not yet released:
- Explorers
- Free Willy
- Krull
- An American Tail
- Supergirl

Tron Legacy
Stargate (so that I don't have to import it from Canada)

I guess that's all really.
Couldn't think of 10, lol.

not even from films that haven't been released?
I didn't know what to pick first!
I had so many in my mind!
I guess you're not Bluray-greedy! (or steelbook-greedy)

[oberth127]

Eraserhead
Sideways
Apollo 13
Frankenstein (1931)

Can only think of those 4 at the moment but I'm sure there's loads more.

Escape From New York with original poster art! I don't care who does it, just get it done!

[lateralspin]

The pictures on the net of Bram Stoker's Dracula are of the DVD release, so there is no actual steelbook for the blu-ray, or with the blu-ray logo.

This coffin edition looks good

[Kakihara]

Ichi the Killer
Lost Highway
Dawn of the Dead ('78 version)
Dredd 3D
Elite Squad 1 and 2

There are plenty of others for sure, but these are the first that came to my head.

No.
It's just that I've got all the films I want on blu-ray already, and most of them are in steelbooks in my collection anyway.

I couldn't limit it to just ten!

New:

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
A.I. Artificial Intelligence - Glossy would suit this one nicely.
Beetlejuice
Dark City - With a new transfer, please.
Dune - Both cuts, in widescreen, in a deluxe edition with insert cards or some other such bling.
Adventures of Baron Munchausen - The colors in the poster art for this one would look fabulous.
Galaxy Quest
The Fall - Lots of great imagery to pull from.
Nineteen Eighty Four - Both soundtracks, please.
The Abyss
The Iron Giant
Alphaville
(The last four not out on blu at all yet, BTW... though Alphaville is coming to Japan.)

Re-release:

Jurassic Park - Use one of the four-disc trays and drop the dvd copies, you'll finally have a nice slim G2.
Moon - I'm sorry, but the German version looks hideous IMO.
Sunshine - I know the new one isn't even out yet, but I think they can do better.
Evil Dead trilogy - Together or separately, just give us a nice complete set... Army of Darkness doesn't have a steel at all AFAIK, and the other two would be a mix & match proposition.
12 Monkeys - With something other than the North American amray art... and it's "12" not "Twelve"!
Jack Ryan collection - The German release only has the first three films. Timing would be good now with a new one coming out.
9 - Again, with something different from the amray art.
Akira - Time for a steel for the Funi release.

[deanmotley]

[Leonidas King]

King Kong (2005) on Steel

Zavvi I know you can make it happen!

P.s It will be Region Free as its a Universal title

[Groge511]

As Fox are slowly releasing their Marvel movies in each wave im waiting for Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. If the artworks not any good then I'll just buy the amarays.

Obviously need the Star Wars saga individually with original poster artwork (theatrical versions)

I know they will eventually but I'm desperate for Zavvi to add The Lion King to their Disney Steelbook Collection. Hurry up!

I would also say The Lord of the Rings trilogy but it seems like we're getting those next year...

Would be nice to get some sexy Spider-Man steels here too.

Oh and also A Series of Unfortunate Events. That's a must!

[russgup]

I'd quite like X-Men 3 just to round off the set.
