How cool can DVD art get?

To counteract the same old "DVD art sucks" thread that keeps popping up, post your favorite pieces of DVD art here, be it covers, cool-looking box sets, international DVD artwork, inserts that look way better than the actual cover, etc.

To start with, I'm a huge fan of this

The other day I saw the case for the Uncut version of Saw and I thought that was kind of cool, with the blood gooping around in the casing... I know people are divided about the movie itself and I still haven't seen it, but I was almost tempted to pick it up for its slightly off klter packaging alone.

edit: That said I still need to figure out how to link to stuff like Crow did, or even just stick the image into the post. I don't tinker enough.

Anyone who has seen this tin packaging in person knows how beautiful it is.

To link, you just highlight whatever word you want to use as your link, click the "Insert Link" button (the one with the globe and the little chain above the message box), and type your URL in.

To paste whole pictures in, about 3 buttons to the right of the link button is a little yellow one. Works the same way.

Before I even knew it was a Miike that cover art drew me to the series.

Let's not forget the LOTR Extended Editions. Those things on your bookshelf look awesome and make you appear smart!

Any boxed set in which the spines of the collected movies form an image when lined up correctly. Examples are A Nightmare on Elm Street and Rocky

I believe Nick has Leaked his dislike for it [EDIT: The SE package, not the movie] (and the wooden box doesn't REALLY make perfect sense, I admit), but I proudly display this filmic gem:

Book of the Dead was always cool looking. Both Kill Bills.

I didn't really dig the Kill Bill DVD covers. They just seem to be publicity stills with different backgrounds.

Didnt the Japanese version of the DVD or some offer with it let you get a mini-Hatori Hanzo sword?


By the way: The Beastie Boys "Sabotage" video has to be one of the Top 10 videos of all time.

I liked the art for the KILL BILL VOL. 1 DVD because it was virtually all yellow, and it really sticks out in a good way. The art for VOL. 2 didn't do much at all, they should have used this shot:



But in answer to the question of how cool can DVD art get, pretty damn cool if you ask me:

I don't know who has seen it, but you should try googling Japanese Alien Quadrilogy Fact is this: You cannot ask for better DVD packaging.
