Underrated Steelbooks - Hidden Gems Or Often Overlooked

[Wreck]

Feel free to post pics too .......

this thread is not about values. I mean its ok to say that you cant believe its not worth more etc. But this thread is meant to highlight Steelbooks that you dont normally hear about. Its about underrated steelbooks in regards to art primarily. The Hidden Gems of the steelbook world. Often at times ones you think are bad ass/look great etc. but you rarely hear any hype of them. Sometimes this is because the movie isnt so good ... but never the less, show them off now and let them get a little attention.

I'll post some later today.

I take it this is the steelbook (from the pics, even thought the title doesn't explicitly mention steelbook?)

Yes it is and quite a bargain too for a very nice steelbook - black and gold embossing

Excellent, just ordered, like the looks of that. Hopefully Amazon.it's packaging is OK, never ordered from them before and only heard bad things.

My favourite steelbook of all time. Excellent movie, clean SB, and the use of colour is fantastic. The Red on the Black & white image is iconic and it's fully in keeping with the style of the movie. I love It!

Fast and Furious 5 (Germany)

Perhaps one of the most unique design for a steelbook, definitely underrated but a personal favorite of mine which is still available for purchase - discussion thread link

Transporter 3 (Australia)

Another underrated personal favorite of mine, this steelbook could be the only one where the art protudes into the blu banner. I really, really like the inside and disc art - discussion thread link. This is still available for purchase.

for me personally, underrated steelbook is

In Bruges
shame about the german title & text on the back, though

SCREAM 4/SCRE4M German steelbook is by far the best quality and great looking underrated steelbook...

Great artwork
Amazing finish (glossy and ultra-glossy contrast)
Great inside art
Great discs with different menus to UK
(FSK logo is a sticker)

Actually cant believe its on amazon.de for 10 Euros...

For the old school collectors - Watchmen, Future Shop.

I have to agree, I've never even seen the movie and didn't really have a desire to get it on Blu Ray, let alone in a steelbook, but that cover is just pure awesome.

It even looks better when you take the ratings logo sticker off the case.

This is one of my favorite steelbooks and films too...

These are all great suggestions. Good thread. I'll have to go through my collection and see if I've got anything to add.

 

[loki993]

Damn see I told myself I was only going to buy movies on steel that I really wanted and that I really liked, not buy them for the art but you guys are killing me here.

Not sure if it's underrated but first steelbook that comes to mind is the Iglourious Basterds nationwide release.

Amazing overall artwork with debossing on rifle in front cover.

Can't wait to read Wreck's suggestions, it's always good to pick up some worthy steelbooks that slipped by.

Agree with Apocalypse now, always liked that one and never hear it being mentioned. Good value too. V for vendetta has a nice design and the german rock n rolla is one id never come across until recently

I love it aside from the ugly Blu ray combo thing on the top. I hate any blu bars or anything like that on steels.

Luckily the blue banner is on a cardboard sleeve.
