That list looks like a "The 35 Best-Looking DVD And Blu-Ray Steelbooks {param} Released by Zavvi This Month" list.

The Game??? Really? Best Ever Made?

They don't even have the cover for The Little Mermaid right!

That was a terrible selection of SBs. Definitely missing a ton of older released SBs that were simply awesome.

 

[aliblahblah]

Forbidden Planet is awesome though, so they got something right!

as soon as i saw Only god forgives on the list i knew it was just a random unthought of article

The list would be better if it was halved! Also intrigued to know if the writer is a member here

Best looking steelbooks ever made in the UK is what the title should be called.

That wouldn't be an accurate title either though would it. Maybe 'A dozen great UK Steelbooks and a few random others' would be a better fit.

More than half were play, ES, and Zavvi exclusives. The rest were released in the UK and worldwide as well. Since there are no other country exclusives, I thought it would be fitting, but of course that's my opinion

I love Empire. They make the best movie magazine in the world imo.
However! This list reeks of promotion for Zavvi.
As far as I know it hasn't been published in the magazine so I won't pass any judgment onto the magazine for this. Never read the website anyway.

No The Lion King Taiwan? :tear: Worst. List. Evor.

that version of TLK is probably the best looking steel I own (and have ever come across)
