Most underrated Steelbooks - Blu-ray Forum

urbeenjammin · 07-20-2011, 02:17 PM

I think this would be a nice thread to have especially for new collectors out there.This would give a good idea as what to add to your collection for bargain prices since these Steelbooks don't really sell for too much but at the same time have a very outstanding cover and design or "something" that makes their value a lot higher than what they sell for.
The first title that comes to mind was a Steelbook which i recently received but has been out for awhile and is really cheap right now from Amazon.de.
that title is "Triple XXX"

i was surprised to find this "very clean" high gloss with some deep rich colors and a highly detailed cover.very happy to add it to my collection.
if there are others out there that we might have overlooked and is sitting on some shelve collecting dust,please let us know so we can add it to our collection.please refrain from the obvious like Iron man,Rambo,Wanted(German),etc...

Some of the once that looks nice according to me is
- Sleeping Beauty
- Snow white
- Zombieland
- Paul
- Batman (1989)

I have few other that are nice but this five are very nice and cleane, was a must have for my tiny collection.

Personally I think that Public Enemies (DE) is an absolute bargain right now , and a reall nice looking steelBook

Nicely debossed and very clean looking (region free I believe). shame about the FSK

Well out of my collection of steels, i think these are very underrated:

Collateral Steelbook (German)
Blade Steelbook (Canada)

I think collateral deserves more credit than it gets. its a great movie by michael mann and the steelbook looks nice.

i haven't gotten a copy of the original Batman.i just wasn't sure about it since part of the logo is cropped of on the sides...maybe it looks better in person.i might have to give it a shot.thanks for the suggestion.

Black Rain & The Wolfman from Germany are 2 great looking steelbooks

That is the way the original poster art was! (and I think it looks great!)

Cpt_splding · 07-20-2011, 05:29 PM

Goemon is a great looking Steelbook. It has a lot to do with the embossing

formula_nebula · 07-20-2011, 05:52 PM

Clash of the Titans (DE). The german text turns alot of people off, but it has that wonderful sparkly, cracked pait look. My crappy camera doesn't do it justice. I love it!

The Printed FSK logo is enough to ruin any Steelbook for me. I would never ever consider buying one with a Printed FSK logo.

Knowing is a very beautiful Steel which is also very cheap I believe from Australia. I paid over 120 CAD when it first came out for 2 of them

ocielz · 07-20-2011, 10:17 PM

i agree also for Public Enemies, doesn't bother me with the FSK logo, very nice Steel!!!!

I think the Shutter Island (FR) SteelBook is highly underrated. It's got nice art and a clean finish, with nice rear and inside artwork. Beats the German version, for sure.

jammyone · 07-20-2011, 11:26 PM

An old but goodie IMHO the UK T2 skynet

Billz · 07-20-2011, 11:30 PM

Scott Pilgrim vs The World
and
Avatar (Korean Extended Edition).

Those 2 seem to get a lot of unfair flack.

FastFish · 07-21-2011, 05:02 AM

I think these two are very underrated. Always like the Embossed ones, just a little something extra.
Apocalypse Now - Italy
Righteous Kill - Sweden

samzach · 07-21-2011, 01:31 PM

Like with all collectables the ones that are worth the most money are the most wanted. I remember when Iron Man first came out, most people seemed to not like it because of the red trim and the blu ray banner. Now it seems like it is everyones favorite because it is worth so much. My favorites or the ones that I think are underrated would be the steelbooks from the movies that I Love. Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Kill Bill, The Crow, Shaun of the Dead, Kick Ass, and Gladiator would be ones I would consider underrated just because I would think everyone would be after these.
