rockyfan · 02-13-2012, 03:23 PM

I'm not a massive collector of steelbooks, but I do collect the ones that I think stand out from the rest. Here are my top 5 -

1. T2: Judgement Day (Japan)
2. The Departed (Canada)
3. District 9 (UK)
4. Touch of Evil (UK)
5. Silent Running (UK)

What are your top 5 steelbooks?

I also like a SteelBook when it's available and it's quite original, and also not too expensive.
I kind of see them as a sort of "special edition", just for the box being more special than a regular plastic (Amaray) box.
So not a big collector of SteelBooks specifically either.

But anyway, although I don't have all the ones I would like, such as the 'District 9'-one mentioned before, or one for 'True Grit' and others.
Out of the dozen or so I have, these would be the Top 5:

- Moonwalker (kind of special being double-sided) (DE)
- Zombieland (very nice alternative front and back artwork) (DE)
- This Is It (DE)
- The (Steel)Book of Eli (German quad)
- Highlander (UK)

It's actually harder to pick than I thought, because I have some nice ones I keep forgetting about. lol
These above are not necessarily in the right order, just roughly, thought I'd mention some unusual ones.
I wonder why Amazon Germany releases so many SteelBooks... They're a big fan? It sells well there?

I also have a couple of SteelBooks for games, which I think look even better. Ones like for 'Crysis', 'Far Cry 2', 'Assassin's Creed', 'BioShock' and 'Uncharted 2'.

1. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Best Buy empty case
2. The Lion King Hong Kong version
3. The Green Hornet (movie sucked though)

It pains me I do not own the first two Steelbook, but I have the HMV version of Pirates of the Caribbean, and it has ugly banner.
