Blu-ray Releases You Wished Used The DVD/VHS/Movie Art - Blu-ray Forum

Dragon78 · 05-25-2020, 07:59 PM

What Blu Ray releases did you wish used the cover art from the Movie Poster, DVD, VHS, etc.?

The Secret of N.Y.M.H.(movie poster/DVD art) and Flight of Dragons(anything but the Blu Ray cover art) come to mind.

All of them

Star Wars original trilogy (BD and 4K)

Ideally, I would say they all should use the original artwork. Realisticly, the horror genre is the only one that I care about. One of my peeves about the Elm Street Collection was that the films didn't come on seperate discs with the original artwork. Gremlins, both the blu-ray and the 4k editions dropped the ball on it, too.

One notable exception for me was with 1980's The Fog. While the cover with Jamie Lee Curtis is original, I prefer the green tinted cover showing shadowy figures coming out of the fog. This was used on the special edition dvd. There was also red tinted and blue tinted versions.

Should always have the option (reversible artwork at least).

Most Scream Factory releases. It's all too comic book like.

I wish they'd use the original Australian poster for Empire Strikes Back:

I've always found it better than the US posters.

Don't they use the original poster for their reversible covers?

Especially with the bad or cheap art many companies are using for covers nowadays I feel more then ever that I wish we used good art.

Wrong section of the forum.

The Outlaw Josey Wales DVD cover is much better.

Dragon78 · 03-02-2022, 12:31 PM

I wonder if it costs any extra for them to use movie posters or older cover art/pics for older physical releases.

Bubbles-11 · 03-03-2022, 03:07 PM

most Illumination films (especially The Grinch, and both Secret Life of Pets films for their "final" theatrical posters)

Dragon78 · 03-15-2022, 06:01 PM

I noticed many of the Disney animated films have been getting terribly lazy covers.

fighthefutureofhd · 03-15-2022, 07:33 PM

Plenty. but I can't name them or I will get the hammer. if you catch what I'm saying.
