Default Which Blu-ray has the Best Cover Art?

I'm a big fan of good cover art. Packaging all together. I wanted to throw this question out there.
Which Blu-ray release has had the best cover art/ packaging so far? Future releases are eligible as well. IronMan looked pretty good to me. The slipcase of course.
Leave your thoughts below.

I like The Fountain's...you basically get the entire movie summed up. Plus it's pretty to look at.

I'm a big fan of the Transformers cover, I like the double sided Autobots/Decepticons without the slip cover, but then the name/disc info with the slip cover.

Close Encounters is probably the classiest packaging on Blu-ray, to date. Excellent job on this one, Sony.

Personally my favourite is the Transformers sans slip cover and the Ironman Steel book.

I think they are awesome as far as presentation goes.

Probably Close Encounters but definitely Close Encounters if you include the whole package.

I love what Paramount has done with Transformers and Iron Man. The utilization of the slipcover is brilliant. Those definitely are my favorites as far as cover art is concerned.

I think that Iron Man is the best just because if you take the Slip Case off then you can see an awesome picture of Robert Downey Jr. and on the back is a great pose of Iron Man. I just love that case.

The packaging for Close Encounters is pretty decent.

It's difficult for me to get enthusiastic about this topic over what has happened with movie poster art through the last couple of decades. It's hardly art anymore. Too much of it is just plain, boring photography. Good graphic design and some creative Photoshop work on the images can elevate it a bit. But it's still nothing like having a tangible piece of art created by hand. It's really quite something when you can visit a Society of Illustrators show and see an original painting for one of those posters without all the type and other stuff printed across it.

The days seem to be gone where you see actual paintings or complex hand-drawn/inked illustrations put together for movie posters. Guys like Bob Peak, Richard Amsel, Drew Struzan and a number of others were like heroes to me. They're among the reasons why I went to art school in New York and majored in illustration.

Movie studios can put together some innovative packaging for Blu-ray discs. But it's more difficult for me to get excited about it if much of the work is just showing off some Photoshop-enhanced photo close-ups of actors heads.
