Post your Favorite DVD Covers

I just love this one, especially the shadow.

[kamikaziX]

I was always a fan of the New Line Platinum Series packaging of their DVDs overall (ie Se7en, Who Framed Roger Rabbit) as well as Fox (ie Fight Club). The entire packaging is so precise and alot of time is spent into all aspects.

But just for the cover art alone, my favorite would have to be: Akira

I really love the use of typography and the overall use of design for this cover.

Oh man... I just love those, especially the cover for Dr. Strangelove

It seems that the general consensus is that artistic covers are better than what we usually get.

[tedward]

those are nice in a funky retro kinda way, I like Holiday.

One of my fave covers is very simple no words, no title, just a single image.

I just got that DVD.

[spiderman_2k]

Do u have the Ultimate Edition ILOVEKATIE???

[sniktawt]

I own the Ultimate edition is there much difference between that and the extreme edition ?I really can't be bothered if it's not much different .

[spiderman_2k]

Alot of people have said the UE is better than the EE....

[spiderman_2k]

Gathering all the info i have looked up
If u want a better and clearer version of the film u get EE
If u like special features and stuff like that then EE doesnt come close to UE
The only other thing that the EE really has going for it is an Audio commentry by james cameron

As said u shouldnt think of the EE as a seperate DVD but as a companion to the UE, which is sure funny as they charge enough for it...

As said u shouldnt think of the EE as a seperate DVD but as a companion to the UE, which is sure funny as they charge enough for it... Well what's funny is that if I buy the Extreme DVD , it will companion my other 2 copies of T2 because before buying T2-Ultimate, I purchased the film when it was just a bare bones release.But what the bare bones DVD has that the other 2 don't is a descriptive video commentary option for the blind.A narrarator describes what's going on in the film in great detail and it is an amazing feature and something all DVD's should have.The blind deserve to experience great films.Sadly, most DVD's don't have that option.I wonder why when they rereleased this film a gazillion times on DVD that they didn't include that feature again ? For this reason alone I kept the bare boned edition.With some of the features the EE has I guess I gotta go get it as well.Now I'll be worried they'll box set the trilogy and I'll have to buy it again.O well, the movie is worth it.

[spiderman_2k]

It will be a while before they Box-Set them
T3 will be Released on DVD first, then the trilogy after. IMO

[sniktawt]

That's what I thought as well.Thanks, Spidey2k.

Citizen Kane, I guess. The special features in it was fantastic. True masterpiece. Ebert's commentary was a bit too fast, but very interesting. The documentary, which i had seen previously on tv, is a good addition.

[Sculder]

No I`m not from Britain (from europe but not from there). But I have a friend who works in England and he buys me DVDs sometimes from there ,althou it is very hard to choose what to buy from UK because they cut action movies and I like my movies uncut.
