Here are four that are long overdue in my book.

 

[Stuc]

My favourites would be my Avatar (China) and monsters inc (Kim chi lenticular slipcase). High gloss, great artwork, just stunning.
As for my wish list, I'd love to see these movies get steel books:

Nightbreed
Monster Squad (one sheet artwork)
The Color Purple
Back to the future 1,2,3 (all single releases with Drew Struzan artwork)
Adventures in babysitting (drew struzan art)
Death becomes her
Donnie Darko - ultimate edition (both cuts)
Prince of Egypt
Masters of the universe (drew struzan artwork)
Nightmare on Elm Street (all films as single releases with original one sheet art)
Labyrinth
Fright Night (eighties version with one sheet art)
The Neverending Story (original one sheet art)
The Muppet Movie (original one sheet artwork)
Garbage Pail Kids the movie (original one sheet artwork)
Star Wars (all 6 films as single releases with Drew struzan art)
He Man & She Ra - Secret of the Sword
Vamp
Alexander (revisited directors cut)
Transformers the movie (animated)
Weird Science
Gremlins 2
Critters
Dark City
Species
Man in the iron mask
Elizabeth & Elizabeth the golden age
Tombstone
Dinosaur (Disney)
Ju-on (The Grudge)
They
Benjamin Button
Zoolander
Outrageous Fortune
Shrek 2, 3, forever after (single releases)
Teenage mutant ninja turtles II secret of the ooze (one sheet artwork)
Teenage mutant ninja turtles III Turtles in Time (one sheet artwork)
The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe
The Dark Crystal
The Black Cauldron
Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me - Directors cut with deleted scenes recut back into film

Ok ok that's a lot, but to me these are classics that deserve a steelbook. High gloss a must.

 

[elchipo]

I want a steelbook for The Book of Life and Breakfast Club (a 30th Anniversary Edition)

 

[paulboland]

I know they'll probably be announced sometime in the near future with Zavvi but I really want steels for the following;

Sexy Beast
Shallow Grave
Cape Fear (Scorsese)
Falling Down
Payback
Bullitt
Kalifornia
The Loved Ones
Cube
Near Dark
Hellraiser


My want list is way too large to mention but having a quick glance at my amaray collection these are a few favourites that stick out on my shelves that I'd pre-order in a heartbeat.

That UK Falling Down artwork really bugs me, the following images would be my ideal steel. Douglas is one of my favourite actors and this is a phenomenal performance by him, I can't get enough of the movie.

Front

Inside

Rear

From your list
Hellraiser
Arrow Video have plans for a new Blu-ray release and hopefully a steelbook
Even if its not a steelbook you can be sure the extras will be as usual from Arrow very good

It will be a big seller for them and a lot have already told Arrow they want them to do a steelbook edition

I know Paul, fantastic news eh? I'm an avid collector and I've already received two Hellraiser postcards!! Fingers crossed they do a Steelbook. My ocd is still hurting from the fact that they released Foxy Brown in steel form but recently released Coffy in amaray only grrr.

Oh yeah and I got the Austrian uncut steel trilogy but really want a standalone original

 

[movieknight]

Still hoping/praying for Field of Dreams (a lenticular would be perfect for this), and The Last of the Mohicans!

 

[Phantasmic]

YES! The Last of the Mohicans. Love this movie and long overdue in steelbook form.

 

[Sigill]

Minions will hopefully recieve a Steelbook and Jurrasic World should do aswell!

 

[Hamill82]

The most wanted for me is Back To The Future 1-3 steelbooks. I want nothing else more than that.

Others I'd like to see:

- Groundhog Day (1993)
- Office Space (1999)
- Beverly Hills Cop 2 and 3 (1987) (1994)
- True Lies (1994)
- The Abyss (1989)
- Trading Places (1983)
- Videodrome (1983)
- 48 hrs. (1982)
- Pet Sematary 1 and 2 (1989) (1992)
- WarGames (1983)
- The Running Man (1987)
- Stand By Me (1986)
- The Mosquito Coast (1986)
- Bloodsport (1988)
- Falling Down (1993)
- Blue Thunder (1983)
- Ninth Gate (1999)

 

[ChrisIW]

Definitely agree with The Abyss, why does it get no love at all - not even a blu ray release in the UK

No blu ray release ANYWHERE! Same goes with True Lies. I wonder if Cameron is the hold up. Both films are no brainers on blu ray, even if they are bare bones discs they will sell like hot cakes.

@chunk Nightmare had a release, you didn't like that one? http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00E96AZF6/?tag=hidefnin0b-20

lol.. I've never taken much notice of that realease because until now I thought it was the remake

is it a nice steelbook?

Think I'd like to see some original poster art, some inbossing or debossing and full gloss.. doesn't take much to please me

I would upload a picture but I still have trouble uploading to hdn, sometines it works and other times it won't let me.. like now

Thanks for the heads up DB, if this is a region free disc I'll look around and try and find a good price.. can't believe I thought it was the remake.. what an idiot

 

[digitalbabe]

@chunk no worries at all! Not sure if you've reached out to acidcor3 about upload issues? I have the Steelbook because I am a fan of the original. It's not spectular, but is one option

@chunk no worries at all! Not sure if you've reached out to acidcor3 about upload issues? I have the Steelbook because I am a fan of the original. It's not spectular, but is one option

I asked acidcor3, I did everything he advised, put my camera resolution on the lowest setting etc, but it is still hit and miss, if I use pixart, and put a border on my photos, that usually helps for uploading but I don't know why and it isn't guaranteed, I have to upload photos to my laptop then upload them to hdn, its time consuming so I tend to avoid posting my own pics now .

its not spectacular, then I definitely need to pick it up on the cheap. I have all the movies on dvd so it would be good to pick up at least the first 3 films on BD (I'm surprised you have it in your collection, i thought you didn't watch horrors, or is it just the really gruesome ones?). still hoping that zavvi will release them and also back to the future, I was happy with the indie steelbooks and jurassic park, so they could do a nice set for nightmare and bttf

ps, I put a border on the original artwork of nightmare to try and upload it, but I got the 'insufficient memory' pop up. I'm sure everyone knows what artwork I'm taking about
