Thank you Sexy, as for steelbooks I'm slowly going off them and films with slipcovers are taking over them. Just sick of getting damaged steelbooks arriving, so it has to be something really special now for me to get a steelbook, the last one I got was
Fantasia that came through the post today, so from now on any steelbook releases I will be thinking hard about if to buy or not.
Got most of these a few weeks back, a mixture of buys and presents people got me over Christmas:
Vendetta - Region B(Britain) - With slipcover. Yes, I'm a fan of Danny Dyer and I like revenge films.
Terminator 2 - Region Free(South Korea) - It's a steelbook edition that comes with a lovely alternative artwork slipcover. I treated myself to this as a Christmas present to myself as it was a bit high in price and wanted to upgrade from the DVD. It went out of stock forever from one place and another place had it thankfully. It's suppose to be one of the best Blu-ray transfers in the world after the very expensive Japanese edition.
Very happy with this buy.
The Wrong Apartment - Region 2(Britain) - Comes in a red coloured DVD box with a slipcover. Never heard of this horror film before I saw it on the shelves in the supermarket and it will probably turn out to be a dodgy straight to DVD film but I liked the look of it, so will see. Plus it's got the fab Michael Ironside in.
Warehouse 13(Series 4) - Region 2 & 4(Britain) - Now have all the series available on DVD for one of my favourite television series.
Rebecca - Region A(America) - A favourite of mine from Alfred Hitchcock to add to my Alfred Hitchcock Blu-ray collection. This and
Spellbound didn't come in the Hitchcock Blu-ray film collection that was released a year or so ago.
You're Next - Region B(France) - Can't stand the cheap artwork on the British release Blu-ray so decided to get it from France, it comes in a gorgeous black amaray box with the superior artwork on like the American release slipcover. Thought this horror film was fabulous.
Red 2 - Region B(France) - This comes in a steelbook edition exclusive to HMV here in Britain but didn't like it and same for the slipcover edition too, so went for the edition with a red amaray box from France. Liked the film but nowhere near as good as the first film.
Killing Season - Region B(Germany) - Don't believe it's out on Blu-ray here yet to so went for this edition because I wanted the black amaray box version. I have thing for coloured amaray boxes now.
Ikarie XB 1 - Region 2(Britain)
Hours - Region B(Germany)
Insidious: Chapter 2 - Region B(Britain) - With slipcover and the title on the front cover and spines is embossed. Enjoyed the first one, enjoyed this sequel more, excellent creepy sequel.
Damages(Series 4) - Region 2(Britain) - With slipcover. This was a bit ****** as I watched the first three series on BBC1 here but then they decided not to buy the rights to show the last two series... so didn't have the channel that series 4 and 5 were shown on, so been waiting for the DVD box sets to come down in price. Still got to get series 5.
The Apparition - Region B(Britain) - The DVD edition came with a lenticular slipcover that I was going to go with originally but the Blu-ray was the exact same price... but unfortunately it didn't come with the slipcover oddly.
Dexter(Series 8) - Region 2(Britain) - With slipcover. Now have all eight series on DVD, each with a slipcover so they look lovely on the shelf.
Heaven's Gate - Region B(Britain) - This is the 216 minute restored Director's cut 2 disc edition of the film, on Blu-ray for the first time I believe here in Britain. Comes with a slipcover.
Carrie - Region B(Germany) - It's the same artwork in most countries for the Blu-ray but I wanted the red amaray box... so went for the Germany edition and it was the cheapest at the time, comes with alternative artwork that you can use as the cover. This is the original 70s film. I've got the new adaptation coming from America in a few days with a gorgeous lenticular slipcover.
Fantasia - Region B(Britain) - Steelbook edition that has embossed artwork on the front of it. One of my favourite animations as a child, so can't wait to see it on Blu-ray.
Criminal Minds(Series 8) - Region 2(Britain) - Another favourite television series where I have every series avaliable now to complete the collection. Yet to see series 8 so can't wait to start it.
Breaking Bad(Series 3, 4, 5 & 6) - Region 2(Britain) - All with slipcovers. Thanks to the January sales(except for series 6, got that today), I managed to get all these cheap to complete the collection. Again, every single series has a slipcover, so all flows nice.
Bates Motel - Region Free(America) - This isn't out here until next month but it's been out in America for weeks so got it from there. Love this series, and it came with a embossed slipcover and artcards. Managed to get it cheap compared to most places off an Amazon trader in America.
Big Ass Spider - Region B(Germany) - Yep, the orange coloured amaray box... plus I prefer the artwork compared to the artwork we got here.
The Aviator - Region B(Germany) - Digipak with slipcover edition, got it for about £8 brand new from Germany, liked this film so looking forwards to seeing it again.
Bellflower - Region B(Germany) - Doesn't seem to be out here in Britain so got it somewhere else. Apparently this film was made with a $17,000 budget! that's impressive because it's rather good.
Black Christmas - Region B(Germany) - The original 70s film, one of my favourite horror films.
Spellbound - Region A(America) - Another one for the Alfred Hitchcock collection.
2 Guns - Region B(Britain) - An exclusive edition steelbook, a rather interesting design with a debossed title on the front.
