THX-1138 (1971)

Warners are usually one of the better labels for bringing out vintage films in decent covers but the one for THX-1138 featured a Criterion-style cover of the title character's ear, so off that came.

Transformers: The Movie (1986)

One of my guilty pleasure films; I love Transformers and even though the original animated film is objectively tripe it's a big part of my childhood. As was the original UK movie poster, a version of which cut from a comic adorned my bedroom door. Merging that (already used for the cheapo Sony Wonder release) with the contents of Metrodome's two-disc Ultimate Edition with some cleaner rear cover artwork was simple but satisfying.

Mulholland Drive (2001)

The usually reliable Optimum did a lovely series of 2-disc Lynch special editions a few years ago; sadly they all used the ultimate wear-and-tear combo of digipaks with an acetate slipcase. Not only did these fray and scratch respectively within minutes of purchase but they look really nasty on shelves to boot. So here's Mulholland Drive done in a visually similar style but for a standard double case.

Blue Velvet (1986)

One of my favourite films - and one that's been repeatedly saddled with cheap-looking UK releases, usually dominated by Frank Booth (the sleeve is for Secular Entertainment's two-disc special edition). Whereas America and much of Europe got one of MGM's better efforts, a smart wrap-around featuring the classic Kyle-and-Isabella on blue velvet background. So this one was pretty simple, adding UK bells and whistles to the German release.
