I like the Criterion cover for Crash best.

I actually like the cover for Amores perros. It reminds me of a dragon's mouth, not a dog's.

I like the Amores Perros cover but is this first cover where the director's name is larger than the film itself. I also like the Gary Tooze approved cover of Crash

Pierrot le fou
The Elephant Man
Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project No. 3

Interesting that the Pierrot le fou inner cover has a picture of the Fuller scene with the green tint despite it not being present in this version.

All quite lovely. I love, love, love the Buñuels, even if they're not very different than expected.

The Buñuel set is not a knockout, yet I love it. I can’t wait to have it on my shelf. But the Rolling Thunder Revue art is just...dreadful.

Minding the Gap looks great, but it reminds me of the poster for Super Dark Times.

Aside from the facial expression in The Ascent that looks a bit like The Passion of Joan of Arc in a dissociative state, the rest are fine. I'm glad they kept the Phantom of Liberty DVD art, which is one of my favorites.

The individual Buñuel covers are fantastic, but the wacky font nonsense on the set cover looks terrible to my eyes.

Wow, looking again I absolutely hate That Obscure Object of Desire's design due to a very personal nails-on-chalkboard physiological reaction to certain sensory stuff related to lips. Just looking at it is making me feel like crawling out of my skin.

The Rolling Thunder cover is Criterion's version of the Sgt Pepper art work

I was rather surprised to discover it's not designed by the same person who did W.R..

The Hit
The Gunfighter
Parasite

Like all the other Netflix titles so far, Rolling Thunder Revue is going to be a digipak, which makes me wonder whether Atlantics and especially American Factory (a much less high-profile release than, say, The Irishman) are also going to be packaged that way.

All the titles Criterion have announced so far are Netflix-produced, whereas the other two are not; I wonder if that makes a difference?

Girlfriends
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
Moonstruck
The Irishman

That insert with Ghost Dog is an awesome touch

I love The Irishman packaging. It's a shame I'm not interested in buying it..... The Moonstruck insert is an interesting choice. A good one though. I'm glad they included the family portrait in the packaging

Damn it, two minutes too late!

Man, that Smooth Talk art is so cool. I know, I know, we've seen it before, but that doesn't make it any less cool. Just wonderful illustrations and colors make it pop off the page err screen. The rest are good, not a bad one in the bunch.

Smooth Talk is a really good choice. It almost looks like one of those teen romance novels aimed at middle school girls back when I was a kid. Which actually works because the film starts off so breezy and innocent before turning right around when Williams creeps into the picture, much as he’s creeped up behind Dern in the art. Really good cover design.
