Other than Reservoir Dogs and Bull Durham, what are some other titles where the slipcover offers something other than identical to the actual cover art?

I have added some titles to the list.
There was a martial arts title from Madacy that had a slipcase, but I forgot to make note of it. If anyone knows the name, please let me know.
Also, if anyone has any of the Westerns from Artisan that have slipcovers, please tell me.

If anyone knows the name of the new budget studio that is putting slipcovers on their discs, or knows the titles from that studio with slipcovers, please post.

Who on this board has a copy of The Manchurian Candidate with a slipcover?
I pre-ordered my copy from DDD.com and it didn't come with one. I've never seen one with a slipcover at a store either.

Someone mentioned Gothika possibly having a slipcover before. Tho I don't own it, I remember picking it up to look at at the store because it has a hologram on the cover. Just like the initial release of the Day After Tomorrow.

Many DVDs only have slipcovers in their early production, then later batches do not - Pirates of the Caribbean is a good example. The three I mentioned above are all Artisan releases, so perhaps they are an exception.

So are the Neon Genesis Evangelion: Platinum disks still readily available with the slip covers? When is the box set supposed to be released?
I would imagine the only reason to pay the extra expense for the individual disks is that the disks in the box set won't have slip covers.

Can anyone confirm the following also?
Monsters Inc. never came with a slipcover (nevermind, found a thread that confirmed it never did)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail SE did.
Reservoir Dogs 10th Anniversary Special Edition with the four actor cover did not (only the individual "colors").

Yes, Monty Python & the Holy Grail SE does come with one and Reservoir Dogs only came with individual actor slipcovers, not all on one.
Also, I believe The Lost Weekend has an Awards Edition slipcover.
Glancing at my collection I notice:
Fargo
The Great Escape
Rain Man
The Usual Suspects
Leon: The Professional
Scarface
Reservoir Dogs (Mr. Pink)
Aladdin
Rebel Without a Cause
East of Eden
