If I recall correctly, when Paramount was preparing the 2 disc DVD Limited Edition release of Steven Spielberg's "War of the Worlds", they had a poll allowing people to vote on the artwork they liked best for the front cover.

The alien "hand" holding the burning earth won out.

Looked great in the cinema last year.

I don't get why they didn't use the classic Goonies graphic - yellow/gold and orange - that has been used for ages. The blue just looks wrong!

rockyfan · 03-21-2020, 11:42 AM

Absolutely terrible cover. Every character looks out of place. They’ve literally taken an image of every character from a different part in the film and put them together. How do people like this??!

It could've been worse...

(Good enough, for you.)
It’s good enough...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hopefully specs and extras will follow soon

buckeye1 · 03-21-2020, 01:58 PM

When is this being released? I'm still waiting for word when Back To The Future 4K is going to be announced. Let's hope they don't push that back as well..

Ugh, yeah. Yikes that cover is bad. However, there's at least a character from the film on the artwork lol. Contender for worst cover of all-time for me has to be:

Wtf was this, honestly...

Can't have a Warner catalog thread without people complaining that they refuse to use the previous box art or original poster...

Agent Kay · 03-21-2020, 07:44 PM

Not till they do use the posters.
No.

For most of my VHS, Laserdisc, DVD, Blu-ray collecting life, I cared about extras and artwork. After all this time, and now that I'm buying 4K, I learned to not care anymore. It's nice when there are movie-period extras, but they are not a deal-breaker. I really don't care about the artwork anymore. I just care about the movie itself; about it being a good transfer, sans any revisionism (as in George Lucas "Special" Editions). In a perfect world, every home release would use original-release poster artwork, and include any extras made at the time. But for now, I'm happy having a great-looking version of the original film! When I was a child, all you could get were movie fractions on Super 8mm. LOL.

It could be much, much worse. This used to be the cover art for the digital release:

I used to have the novelization back in the 80s with this cover.

The Goonies is in my all time top 5.

Born in 78 and make no mistake, this was a massive film for kids in the UK from that era.

Must have seen it around 20 times although only watched it twice since I bought the blu when it first came out. Owned it on VHS and imported the DVD as soon it was released.

Still have two copies of the excellent novel too plus the score on CD (bought for a stupid price before people uploaded things like that to YouTube) and a US one sheet of the great poster by Drew Struzan.

It was the first movie I chose to sit down with and watch with my girlfriend - now my wife.

You could say I like this flick a lot.

KubrickKurasawa · 03-22-2020, 04:31 AM

The cover leaves a lot to be desired. I will have to bb Steelbook this if at all possible.

I couldn't believe that they left out everybody's favorite character, so I had to fix it for them.
