DVD and Blu-ray cover sucks


So why change them anyway? I prefer the original poster/VHS cover art. All the original poster and VHS covers art were so great! I definitely love the original poster:

Yeah, new $50s on the cover of a 1983 movie is a bit weird.

agreed, makes no sense.

Though I appreciate when my old favorites are remastered in high definition and made available on bluray, I've always had a problem with the new artwork, menu graphics and music that might be used. A lot of times it doesn't fit the essence of the movie or the era.

VHS got it right when it always had the theatrical poster for their video covers.

DvD and Blu Ray use the worst cover art, absolute shit.
