Having seen the rather underwhelming release schedule for next year from a couple of companies I thought I'd post some suggestions for great movies that either haven't had steelbooks at all yet, or have only got second rate ones. Anyone else care to add?

The Usual Suspects
Airplane
12 Angry Men
Elite Squad 1&2
The Sting
The Guard
Dawn Of The Dead
Contact
Event Horizon
Thelma
The Wild Bunch
 
My biggest want for 2919 is

NO MORE F***KING POP ART!!!

There's nothing more disappointing than waiting years for a film to get steelbook treatment and they ruin it with bloody pop art.:jacked::angry:

Haha, I'm in complete agreement. Also, as I mentioned before lazy steelbook waves where they just choose a random object from the movie and slap it on the front (The Shining = Axe, The Matrix = Bullet, Inception = Spinny thing, A Clockwork Orange = Glass of milk)... I mean WTF?!

Basically next year I'd like steelbook designers to do their f***king job properly...
 
  1. The Matrix ( proper WEA and not the bs art we've been getting)
  2. Annihilation
  3. Blade Runner 2049 (there aren't enough steels for this one)
 
John Wick 2 FAC
Kingsman 2 Mantalab
The Abyss special edition
True Lies
Terminator 2 HDZeta
Back to the future (individual great artwork editions)
Trading Places
Beverly Hills cop 2
Lethal Weapon 2 & 3
Die Hard 3 (Zavvi matching artwork to the previous releases)
Rocky 2,3 & 4 individual releases
The Hitcher
The last starfighter
avatar special extended edition
Dirty Harry
Batman 1989
Batman Returns
The Rock
Crimson Tide

Before I offer up my dream team wish list for next year, let me quality my thoughts by saying my hope would be to see a treatment deserving of these films by either Manta, Blu Fans, EverythingBlu, etc. with the works. That said, I'd be happy with just a decent steel of any of these that isn't pop art, which I loathe.

To no surprise I start with a movie that has sadly only received one run in Steel form. An outrage considering the greatness of this film.

JAWS
Close Encounters (with mothership schematics0
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Planet of the Apes (The original 5 - This would be a cool set to have)
Towering Inferno
White Line Fever
 
Sets to be completed...

The Defenders, The Punisher and all remaining Netflix/Marvel shows
The rest of Agents of SHIELD
Remaining Star Wars Rebels
The Disney Classics back catalog

More superhero stuff...

Supergirl (1984)
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer
Punisher: War Zone

John Hughes...

The Breakfast Club
Pretty in Pink
Sixteen Candles
Some Kind of Wonderful
She's Having a Baby
Planes, Trains and Automobiles

Horror...

The Exorcist
Exorcist II The Heretic
The Exorcist III
Damien: Omen II
The Final Conflict

And many, many more.

Still wanting a stunning 3D steelbook for Titanic(I do have the lenti magent German one) but with the steelbook being embossed/debossed in the ship's riviets style. Just a nice simple, minimal, artwork for one of my fave movies ever.

so, my list;

- Titanic
- A Scanner Darkly(so underrated and often forgotten, gorgeous movie)
- Chasing Amy
- Gremlins 2(or a dual pack like Zavvi did for Kill Bill would be fine - just want a UK blu for he second movie)
- mother! (an any other missing Aronofsky movies that have yet to be touched by steel)


lastly, all the other Disney Classics that have not had a steelbook release(Fantasia 2000, Black Cauldron, Oliver and Company...etc)
 
What a list of awesome suggestions! I wholeheartedly agree with the majority of them. Here is a few that were already mentioned, and a few others

Star Wars (hoping Blufans will take on the holy trilogy)
Starman
All dogs go to Heaven
Dreamcatcher
Superman 2
Rocky 2-Balboa
Karate Kid 2 and 3
Hackers
More Zavvi Disney releases
Better X-Men variants (Manta Lab seems to have the right idea)

So many more..... sigh
 
All the James Bond movies (but with the proper posters (like the VHS wide-screen versions) or done properly as they did with Goldfinger and Goldeneye.

Mrs Doubtfire
The Towering Inferno
 
I'll name a few I really want...some already have steelbooks I know but I want better artwork, probably just the film poster would do me.

Saludos Amigos
The Three Caballeros
Make Mine Music
Fun and Fancy Free
Melody Time
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad
The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh
The Black Cauldron
Oliver & Company
Fantasia 2000
Dinosaur
Home on the Range
Winnie the Pooh
Zootopia
Moana

Monsters University
Inside Out
The Good Dinosaur
Coco
Incredibles 2

Clerks II
New Star Wars Films with poster artwork on the front
Lethal Weapon
Shaun of the Dead
Hot Fuzz
The Worlds End

Halloween III: Season of the Witch
Prince of Darkness

Studio Ghibli - All the steelbooks in a new line which uses better colourful artwork. Not just ones filled with mostly a grey/silver background.

James Bond - All poster artwork that all match with one another. They've done a few steelbooks but nothing else came of it, they need a proper line starting from the beginning
 
100,000 different steels of Captain Marvel and End Game from WWA to WEA, from Zavvi to Best Buy, from WeeT to Blufans, even Zeta and Manta releasing their own too.

Wooooooooooo!
