We've seen the threads of "What movie would you like to see get steelbook treatment" at many forums.

Here's something a bit different.

"What movie were you surprised to see NOT get steelbook treatment."

Everything is getting it now, and many more catalog movies are coming ... but how about movies on blu-ray already that baffle you no retailer/etailer hasnt taken the gamble on pushing into steelbook.


I'll start with a few ...

HEAT-released as Steelbook in the meantime
Braveheart-released as a Steelbook in the meantime
Carlitos Way-released as Steelbook in the meantime

I second "Heat". Many people said Catalog titles would not work on SB-I disagree-I think there is quite a bit of opportunity, especially if they get out some of the genre hits that many people love.
 
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Trilogy and the CG TMNT Movie.

peter Jackson King Kong

Rambo

Super Man Returns

Speed Racer

Oldboy

Happy Feet

Batman, Batman Returns, Batman Forever

I could go on ...

Glad to see Braveheart is now here :D

Fight Club would be here also were it not for the German release (and now UK and Czech)

Jungle book and Aladdin could do with some steels - relative to the other cartoon/animation releases I think these would be a better starting point!

er.. Star wars steelbooks? Enter the dragon? Matrix got one where's Reloaded?
 
Star Wars definitely. Really thought Hugo would have something (especially since A Trip to the moon did), but guess I had to wait longer as it appears to be coming. And I would have though the upcoming The Grey would get something (I do think there's a Metal pack out there)
 
These are some I would like to see:

12 Monkeys

Desperado or a El Mariachi / Desperado Double Feature

Ichi the Killer
 
I've got a 'wanted' list of films that, as far as i'm aware, isnt a Steelbook and should be:

Titanic was a huge success globally. I'm very surprised nobody has yet to release one.
