This won’t be a long list excluding multi packs.

Ahh.....um.....The Red Balloon/White Mane

That’s all I could find in my collection other than music Blu’s other than The Elephant Man digibook.

At least the first 16 original blu-ray (rather than dual format) Eureka Masters of Cinema releases. All OOP and replaced with clear thick cased dual format editions.

Numbers 1 to 9 of the BFI Flipside collection. Again now OOP and replaced by clear thick cased dual format editions.

All early single disc BFI blu-ray releases. Last time I checked all OOP and replaced by clear thick cased dual format editions except A Zed and Two Naughts.

All 88 Films Slasher Collection releases.

All Network single disc editions of TV shows, movies and collected shorts.
EDIT: Their Terrahawks blu-rays contain 2 discs but are also packaged in slim cases.

All standard Artificial Eye blu-ray releases up until some point in 2016. Someone else will be able to be more specific.

Various random Odeon/Screenbound Blu-rays, not able to check exactly which at this moment.

Sound City.

Many music releases use a slim case - I'll try and dig some more examples out later.

I’m pretty sure mine was a thin case,I later sold it to purchase a digibook so I can’t say for sure but I definitely think it was a thin one.

It was my first BD purchase so I believe the early ones must have been like that.

There are sometimes variants. For example, The Karate Kid remake. I've seen it skinny, phat and phat with a slipcase.

You never added The Red Balloon/White Mane to your list.
They are French films but must be a UK release as my copy has a PG certificate on it.

The House films are Arrow releases, not Slasher Classics. House IV isn't even out yet in the UK.

The Slasher Classics are all thin cases. I know the House movies are Arrow and not 88 Films. And I did say 1st pressing which House IV is out in the UK.

Ah, so have Arrow switched to thin cases for the 4 House films because they're going to be bundled in a box set?

BTW House IV is not available (according to this site) as a stand-alone purchase, though I presume you were talking about the box set. My bad.
