Your favorite packaging of a dvd...
There are much "nicer" sets out there, but I value functionality and space-saving over all, so my favorite, by far are the R2 Buffy and Angel sets. They're not too elaborate, but they're very classy and most importantly, quick and easy to get at, and take up very little shelf space - at about one-inch thick, they take up the same space as a double-disc alpha case - which is astounding considering these are 6-disc sets, with attached booklets all in a nice sturdy case. A hardcover "book" slides out of this case, and has some pages with details of the show, and are followed by pages that contain the discs, from which the discs effortlessly slide out of the top. These are built to last, too.
Here's an example:

Umm....hmm....probably DigiPacks, but if I had to chose one that makes me want to watch the movie twice as much just because the packaging is so damn sweet then...Ghost in the Shell: Special Edition
NOTE: In the past week, me and this lil SE have had the kind of relationship where you fuck like four times a day. Only this a DVD and I still haven't actually been with any chicks.....life is sad sometimes =( ....

i quoted it with the intention of saying something clever, but i'm too weirded out to even blink right now.
my answer to the original post:
the first DVD that came to mind was Se7en, but I think Tombstone is probably good in the same way, and the LOTR:EEs deserve a mention as well.
for season sets, WB did a good job with the smallville sets IMO. They pull out of the sleeve and open like a book. WB also did a good job with the new Matrix set, though many seem to hate it.
worst packaging by far goes to Alien Quadrilogy.

One of my faves is the German import of Mario Bava's Blood and Black Lace. Not only is it the best edition anywhere of this film....it comes encased in black velvet with red print. Very nice. Limited to 1000.

I really like the packaging from the last two Simpsons season sets. I like the artwork on the inside of the packaging and how the artwork on the discs is incorporated into the image on the digipack. Season five is probably my favorite of the two.
