I like the way they chose to make them look like books. Plus they just look cool. Well "they" will in a couple of months when The Two Towers EE is released.

One of my favorites is the Criterion version of "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas". The lettering is only printed on the clear outside case, with just the original Steadman artwork on the box itself.

I was going to post the exact same thing. My only DVD without the title on the spine.

Speaking of spines... I'm in the process of converting my collection to thinpak keepcases and I really didn't want to trim the existing covers to fit.
I started converting my cheapo Diamond discs when it occurred to me.
Why no simply print out the spines and insert them into the thinpaks! Not only does it save on ink and paper (can print a whole slew on a single sheet) but it is quicker and when they're on the shelf, you can't notice the difference. (Snapper conversions are a lot easier too.)
I've done nearly a dozen and they look surprisingly good. Anyone else doing something similar? How about a repository of "spines only"?

The Evil Dead - Book of the Dead stands out the most in my collection. Everytime I have a new guest over, they always go up and touch it and go, "Ewwww - it feels gross" - which is how its supposed to feel.

I second the motion for the Beatles Anthology. Also, I think the spines for the Rocky movies are cool too. I only have 1 and 3, so no cool picture of Rocky for me.

I like the way the Walt Disney Treasures spines look AFTER you take them out of the tins (I don't even keep them in the tins since they look much better to me out of them).
As others have said, I also like the way the EE of FOTR looks like a book--it should look pretty nice when I have all 3.
