Ever buy a "bad" movie just because it's a SteelBook™?

[digitalbabe]

So fess up-has there been a time when you've been seduced by the art of the Steelbook, but really didn't like the flick?

Examples? Chime in and have fun!

He was also nominated for "A Beautiful Mind" - funnily enough he was using the exact same facial expression playing a nutty professor as he did when we was a Gladiator...

Seriously, the Oscar for best picture a year later went to "Chicago" - does that mean THAT is a good movie also

LOL

Gladiator won 5 Oscars, including Best Picture!

Russell Crowe got Best Actor..

The Hurt Locker for me. Wasn't blown away by the film like everybody else seemed to be at the time. Bought the recent UK Steelbook because it looks so good and I'm going to give the film another go because of it.

No, I have to like the movie to buy the steelbook.

Kill bill 2 Canadian steel.

I don't hate the movie, number 1 is easily in my top 10 films, but the artwork has given me more pleasure than the film

 

[Ricker]

Yeah I bought Exorcist CA. Always thought the movie was lame. Sorry DB

 

[sweeper]

The Runaways cover looked cool really hated the movie

Resident Evil Degeneration glossy shiny cover. Big fan of the games especially RE2 but this movie was so boring

I would have to say no, I decided very early on not to buy anything I didn't like.

There has been some buys that have been a hit and miss where I bought something limited because I thought I might be interested in it. I think my reasoning there was that I better buy it now for a cheap price rather than later for a silly price at ebay.

Mine are:

Wolfman
Cars 2
Hulk
Twilight 1&2 (girlfriends)

I think they should make Battlefield Earth a super limited steel! Just watching everyone scramble for the only 100 copies on earth and then watching them sell on eBay for £500+ each classic!

Naaaa I much preferred cars, which isn't saying much probably the best thing about the film is the 007 type spy car is an Aston Martin. Astons are the best!

Michael Caine was perfect voice for that car

Totally I think Michael Caine is excellent a national treasure! He hardly ever makes a bad movie. My favourites are Italian Job and Zulu!

They are both really excellent films especially Sherlock Holmes! But I guess it's each to his/her own

Maybe it is a good thing (money wise) that there are not too many steelbook releases in the states. Otherwise I woudl have a lengthy collection of steelbook buyer's remorse. Right now I can chime in with:

The entire Twilight series
The Muppets

Most of my buys are movies I actually enjoyed, so it makes collecting that much better.

***side note - I actaully don't mind the Twilight series, very weird to say. Just not sure if they would have been worth a purchase had a steelbook not been released.
