What's your most prized/favourite collectable steelbook?

Regardless of cost, could just be something you think is quirky or sensational, what is your favourite steelbook?

My top three are are Guardians vol. 2 Thailand contoured slip as it was such a nightmare to find, Avengers Age of ultron Novamedia lenticular as it's such a great steelbook with my favourite being Guardians (first one) Novamedia lenticular as it's the best looking lenticular I've seen.

I love the Forbidden Planet steelbook. It takes an iconic original poster and literally makes it shine. I think that was a Play.com release. The GI Joe Retaliation and The Last Stand steelbooks were great releases from roundabout that time too. I loved the artwork used on each.
Oh that's a superb steel, I've seen that. The last of the Mohicans re-release is an absolute beauty, I was very tempted though!

For me, the 2K restoration of Yuri Norstein's Hedgehog in the Fog from Japan.
The animation captivated my mind at a young age and the chosen artwork immediately gives me the same vibe watching the whole thing does.

Beautiful steelbook, and thank you to introducing me to the animation too:
 
This was pretty fun to look through things and very tough to whittle it down to just a few, but I think at the moment these would be my top three. Manta's Blade Runner, Film Arena's Wind River and HD Zeta's FOTR. All absolutely stunning, and for me the pinnacle of releases for these films.

Those are nice. Didn't like the re-release of Wind River with just the title on the front, thought it was a little lazy considering what they could have used from the film. Such as Renner on the peak with the man in the bag.

@MCU-Smithsonian Thanks so much for asking for our favourite SteelBooks. It made me revisit some of my SteelBooks I hadn’t though of in a long while and got me out of my head on this rough morning that greeted me :happy:
