Jojo Dancer’s cover is pretty good

Winchester 73 is decent enough

Mother and The Whore’s cover is okay

The Grifters is abysmal.

Am I the only one who thinks Jimmy Stewart looks like Rock Hudson on that Winchester '73 cover?
You’re not wrong my friend!

The disc and the insert art for Scarface are so much better than the cover.

That is so often the case with Criterion. It's like they panic and go with key art that seems more commercial, not realizing that they could go for a much more striking option.

got Scarface in my possession and the booklet art clearly is the winner for me, would've made for a great cover. unfortunately the cover feels even worse in person

got it alongside Happiness and both packages just feel so flimsy. it was nice getting Pandora's Box in the flash sale and being reminded they can still "get there", much like the new Paper Moon mostly seems to
