WB, New Line & HBO releases in keepcases - The List

I think it's about time we started a list of Warner Brothers, New Line & HBO releases or re-releases that now come in keepcases for those of us who want to ditch the snappers.
I'm pretty sure all of the new WB 2005+ releases will be in keepcases, so we'll limit this thread to titles originally released pre-2005 .
Edit: I've updated the thread to contain New Line & HBO titles as well, since they have titles that are getting re-released in keepcases.

the john wayne signature set is snappers, so are the horror classics...

the only re-release i remember is NXNW...all other titles are new release dvds or better editions....this is the same dvd, only change is the upc code.

childrens titles for WB are still snappers

they have done away with the digi-pack except for THX-1138 2 disc DC

Image seems to be doing this, but very slowly (likely because many of their titles are pressed in small numbers). There are still dozens of silent titles that appear to still be in-print, that I've never seen in a keepcase.

I don't think that they've cycled through their entire product line yet with updates. (Although I may be wrong.)

I was surprised to see last week in Best Buy
American History X (which I bought)
Rush Hour (original)

Both are now in keepcases.

Glad to hear that about American History X, but I always thought it needed a much better release, so I'll hold out on buying it.

Also, add The Name of the Rose and the Cary Grant box: Mr Blandings Builds his Dream House, The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer, Night and Day, Destination Tokyo, and My Favorite Wife.

Lock Up has been in a keepcase for years now.

It's not Warner Bros. but I just purchased Paramount's Saturday Night Fever in a keepcase at Circuit City. The only thing is, the side of the cover doesn't have the Paramount logo on it. The extras are the same though

Where did you find Boiler Room in a Keepcase??

I found American History X at Wal Mart. I wasn't expecting it since I figured New Line would only and has only rereleased their Platinum Editions in Keepcases. I believe AHX is the first non-platinum edition, along with The Wedding Singer, to be released in a keepcase.

Found Rush Hour at Best Buy.

Someone please post if you find Wag the Dog, Pleasantville, The Cell and Dark City in a keepcase.

Can someone else confirm seeing these? This would be a definite indication that Warner plans to go back and re-do old snappers in keepcases. I haven't seen (or heard about) any of these...
