Blu-Rays with best and worst cover art

[Phxsns1]

What movies on blu-ray do you think have the best and worst cover art?

Here are my best:
Where the Wild Things Are
The Man from Earth
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Fargo
District 9
There Will Be Blood (Both sides)

Worst:
Full Metal Jacket (Deluxe Edition)
Minority Report
The Robe
Cast Away
Office Space (Misleading. It actually doesn't come with any pieces of flair.)

Hm. That's a good question.

For best cover artwork from my current collection, I'll have to go with:

1) Stargate 15th Anniversary Edition
2) Green Zone (Canadian edition)
3) Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Target exclusive)
4) Monsters, Inc.
5) Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World
6) The Orphanage (US edition)
7) Poltergeist Digibook
8) Ponyo

As for worst, I really can't think of any at the moment because I don't own any Blu-ray Disc movies with ugly cover-art artwork.

I need to add Donnie Darko [1] to my collection because the cover artwork looks amazing.

[MR.0NE-TW0]

Best:From Dusk Till Dawn
Legion
Dark City
Inglourious Basterds

Worst:She's Out of My League
agreed on Minority Report
any Transporter cover-they all look the same
and the Die Hard ones...very generic

[Rebelwithoutacause]

Which Inglourious Basterds front-cover artwork?

P.S. I think this thread has been recycled 100 times already.

(Of the ones I own)

Best: Minority Report, Avatar, The Dark Knight, Iron Man, District 9
Worst: Die Hard

Why are people saying Minority Report has bad cover art? Do you guys not have the lenticular slip?

[Hatter]

I'll just go with naming the Worst:

Star Trek (2009) canadian billingual packaging. What gives. It's just a picture of kirk on one side and spock on the other side. Even the slipcover is lame. It's too bad considering how great the movie and blu-ray is.

Front:


Back:



Brutal. I mean nice portraits and all but I'd rather have a traditional cover saying what the movie is and the spcs of it on the back, not some cheap external paper they put and just dangles there.

That's what the slip is for though.

People are probably judging the actual cover art and not the slipcover. I agree that the cover sucks, but the lenticular slipcover is nicely done and saves the slipcover at least.

I've got some worsts for you:

JCVD (U.K. Edition)


The Crazies (Canadian Version)

On that one I'll have to disagree. Chris Pine and Zach Quinto are hotties, I don't mind lookin' at them.

[The Rock]

Best:
Watchmen: Directors Cut
Pirates of the Carribbean : At Worlds End
Ghostbusters
The Hangover
30 Days of Night

Worst:
The Mist
Max Payne

[wiza_gab]

From my collection,

Best :
mostly all my Criterion's (Bottle Rocket, The Last Emperor, The Last Metro, Paris, Texas, Chungking Express)
City Girl (MoC)
Sleeping Beauty steelbook with slipcover
Superman Doomsday with slipcover
Wall-E steelbook
The Godfather Trilogy
Le mépris (Studio Canal)

Worst :
Nothing really but maybe a couple that are just okay like American Psycho, The Usual Suspects and Gone Baby Gone but I still like them.

[recS-12]

The one that's fresh in my mind is the Predator Collection . The one that is on sale at Best Buy right now. Page 987 of The BD Slipcover List and Discussion thread if anyone is curious.

[ArrestedDevelopment]

Best: Donnie Darko
Worst: Minority Report (dear god what were they thinking when they came up with the cover art, though the lenticular slip partially makes up for how bad the art is)

[28BlusLater]

Best:
Black Christmas (Original)
Drag Me To Hell
The Final Destination 3D
Donnie Darko
Rob Zombie's Halloween (Germany)
My Bloody Valentine (Original)
The Crazies (Remake) (US)
[REC] (Spain)
Trick 'R Treat (Slipcover is beautiful, I'm happy I got it early when the slip was still available)

Worst:
Minority Report
Sorority Row
The Machinist
A Nightmare on Elm Street (Original) (I wish we could of gotten the ORIGINAL cover art from when it originally came out)

[Drewza89]

Best: Anything that uses the original poster art. I also like it when they get really creative and do something like they did to Zodiac. Best slipcover has got to be Moon. I dig that optical illusion.

Worst: Anything that misrepresents what the movie is. The 1966 Batman comes to mind. The movie itself is gloriously campy, yet the cover suggests that the movie is darker like Nolan's films.

[Sir Platypus]

I just want to toss in that I'm glad we no longer have covers with the silver borders on them from Blu-Ray's early days.



Just look at that beautiful art ruined. Like putting a great painting in a gaudy frame.
