Criterion is the unanimous champion in terms of cover art. They keep it simple, uncluttered and stream line. Others should take notice.

MGM has made some really bad cover, and Anchor Bay's cover for the "Boomstick Edition" of Evil Dead (or is it Army of Darkness?) looks like a Photoshop nightmare.

I thought it just looked too weird and I like the barebones Universal cover way better.

This is an amazing cover that makes the movie feel big and important (which it is).

i hate the requiem "cut and paste" cover though.  bugs the shit out of me. i believe the orignal poster had the image of the woman on the dock on the bottom half and not stars from the movie.

there was a 2 disc limited edition army of darkness that came out a few years ago that had the original theatrical cut and the directors cut but i guess its been out of print for a while. the cover was the actual cool poster art too.

I guess one person's cartoonish is another's iconic... the Criterion reminds me of something you might see in a Greek or Russian Orthodox church (please, any art-history vultures that might be lurking here, don't descend on me for this!). To my eye, the Universal one just seems cheesy, typical, and bland at best.

I don't know that Saul Bass did the cover, but he did do the film's title sequence, which is pretty amazing and definitely embodies the single image/essence thing you mention.

I think I pretty much love or at least don't hate most of the Criterion covers except one: Chasing Amy. I really love the simple, luminous black-and-white Brief Encounter and Pygmalion covers.

...I guess I have a weakness for the stark two-shot/profile effect. I love the fonts, too, especially Brief Encounter.

Seems obvious to me! Some Blake art would have been nice, but the more I look at this, the more I love it.

That has nothing on

Quote from: ewardall the real girls

Funny story about the All The Real Girls cover:

One time some friend of a friend was over at my place and I had a copy of the movie I had borrowed a few days earlier on my coffee table. She picked it up, looked over the cover and asked me "You just leave porn sitting on your coffee table?"

"Umm, that isn't porn."

"Oh, yeah whatever." (rolls eyes)

My response: "Well, first of all, I doubt Ebert and Roeper review adult films. And if they did, I doubt they would give any 'Two thumbs up'. Second of all, you're an idiot."

I didn't even see the movie, heard it was pretty bad. Anyway, for some reason I like the cover art.
