I had not had time until today, but here it is: the first of many. Or so I hope. When I showed this edition to some friends, and one of them checked how much people can pay today for it, they criticized me for unseal and opening it. "Sell it, dude, and you'll buy some other edition of this film, it's a good business". And it's true. But what they didn't understand is that this is my copy, for my collection, to see it, to touch it, to open it and close it ten million times, carefully. Calmly. Watching every little detail every time as if it were new, once again. Thanks to the MP staff. They are able to make us live very good moments. And that is a great skill.

I'm really agree. What you say is part of what I liked most about "Midsommar". And it makes the director become someone to be followed. A "Mulholland Dr." Collector's Edition. It would be so beautiful... I've saved my Spanish Special Edition like a treasure, but... yes, It would be great to have a true Collector's Edition of this and other critically acclaimed movies. Plain Archive distributes some, but it's not enough, great movies with that solid fans base will be forgotten...

Good movie. When a person spends two hours and twenty minutes in the dark of a movie theater without just looking the clock, it's difficult don't have a positive opinion of the film. If, in addition, we think of a film that is not exactly short, and where the plot can be more or less predictable, the public doesn't want to know what time it is has even more merit. There is something there. A beginning that mixes solvency and effectiveness in equal shares, earning the public before first credits. A general tone -at times unsettling- that separates the film from the vulgarity of industrial terror. Some scenes shot with great solvency, giving rise to meticulously prepared moments, where the staging shines like a strange sun that illuminates the characters until restless. A certain depth in the approach where, avoiding underlining and innocuous explanations, the director manages to make the public cling to that predictable set, and assuming it as a base, becomes interested in what is behind some characters. I have not seen "Hereditary." I didn't know Ari Aster. And I went to the cinema without knowing the plot of the film. But after seeing it I think it would not be strange to observe inheritance from "The White Ribbon" (Haneke), "Picnic in Hanging Rock" (Peter Weir), or "Antichrist" (Lars Von Trier). "Midsommar" is an interesting second film that points to the director as someone to follow, but I don't think it lives up to "Parasites." Its defect lies in an irregular narrative, where it gives the impression of having shot some pieces individually, taking care of them individually, even giving it its own life; but where the general narrative and its dramatic development suffer, not being able to channel all these elements in a consistent way being able to maintain and take advantage of the pulse of the potential of the story, and make the narrative win the game to an interesting funny effectism. Perhaps weighed down by the superficiality of some artificial or synthetic characters, or by the moment in which the stage and the village shines so much that them revealed some limitations of their development; allowing us to enjoy a lot watching the film, in front of the exceptionality of the facts and the people, but wasting the potential of that surrounded truth that was there. It's my opinion. I liked it, a lot, and I want to see it again soon, but I don't see this film like one of the best films of the year. It's not the same. By the way, is nobody really going to make a true "Midsommar" Collector's Edition? Visually it is a candy for any designer, and has very loyal fans. Could give us a true lovely edition. 😉

Order very good sushi for dinner, a couple of delicious desserts, and watch Park Chan Wook's "The handmaiden". A delicious evening. A beautiful and interesting movie in one of the most beautiful steelbooks I've ever met. Yesterday I just wanted decidedly beautiful things. This kind of days.

Hannibal (Probably the most underrated series of recent years. At least for those who are not afraid of blood, or bored by the calm necessary to mature a brutal psychological confrontation.) Sharp objects (An elegant steelbook with this two discs would be so nice... for a so elegant show...) The Leftovers (A great and very original show ideal for moments of very open mind... ) Chernobyl (I don't like the UK current steelbook, I respect a lot people that loves it but it seems a videogame steelbook to me, not a design for a great TV show about a tragedy) Cocaine Coast (A drug dealers story all based in true facts where a group of people from a small fishing town, without any education or knowledge, came to manage the largest cocaine entry door in Europe) 22.11.63 (A funny show with a time traveller and a bit of Kennedy assassination story...) Mindhunter (Obviously. A David Fincher delicatessen...) True Detective (Seasons 2 & 3) I love the Season one steelbook edition. And many more that I think we could all list. In fact, the best ones don't catch on a single steelbook, it should be a box of steelbooks. But there's one I'd love to pay for: The Office. A box with a steelbook per season. I will never understand that one of the most successful TV shows in history, and that years later continues to generate many views everywhere, has not had an edition to its influence and importance.

Maybe too late but... to dream is free for all big and little collectors. Some might be possible, others totally impossible, some profitable, and others not. Seeing these things from outside, just as a fan, always seems much easier than it really is. Films with an interesting sales potential for a collector's edition: Memento. All Nolan's has great sales, and for this film there is only the old Kimchidvd edition. The usual suspects. I can't understand why no one tried to do a great edition with this fabulous film... Magnolia. By Paul Thomas Anderson, a popular modern classic. Zodiac / The Curious Case of Benjamin Button / Panic Room. David Fincher's classics. The favourite. An awarded 2018 Yorgos Lanthimos film. Miss Sloane. All the special editions that have come out in Korea have been sold immediately. And it can be done better. Robin Hood. This Ridley Scott film has some collector editions but no one in the current "collector editions" usual way. As American Gangster. The silence of the lambs / Hannibal / The Red Dragon / Hannibal Rising. Hannibal Lecter's character has a whole legion of fans and not a collector's edition. The Darjeeling Limited. One of the few Wes Anderson films without any collector edition, only an old french digibook. Last action hero. A sold Zavvi steelbook and no one collector edition. Lost in translation. No one collectors edition for this famous Sofia Coppola film. The Straight Story / Blue Velvet / Lost Highway / Inland Empire. Really, all Lynch films uses to have a lot of fans and good sales. We'll see how works "Wild at heart". Nocturnal Animals. A known successful designer Tom Ford film. Unbreakable. The only one of this Shyamalan's trilogy without a collectors edition. Dead Poets Society. Who never watched this film? Godfellas / Racing Bull. It's Scorsese, my friends. Mamma mia. A real blockbuster. Basic Instinct. It is required to include the icebreaker Flash Gordon. A film with a lot of fans and only two steelbooks without any more. Pirates of the Caribbean. Obviously, a good bussiness opportunity, and may be an impossible desire. The Godfather Trilogy. Always waiting the definitive edition........ The Blues Brothers. A classic with a lot of fans always waiting too. The doors / Natural Born Killers, by Oliver Stone. When Harry met Sally. I've never founded a collectors edition. Renowned classic movies that would add status to the retailer and bring popularity: Paths of Glory (Kubrick) Really... all Kubrick. The most of them without a collectors edition. Death in Venice (Visconti) La dolce vita (Fellini) Blow Up (Antonioni) Some like hot (Wilder) The grapes of warth (Ford) Metropolis (Lang) Gandhi (Attenborough) The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (Huston) The Party (Blake Edwards) Asian films that do not yet have a collector's edition in blu-ray or 4K, or that is not available: In the Mood for love (Kar Wai) 2046 (Kar Wai) Chunking Express (Kar Wai) The Grandmaster (Kar Wai) House of flying daggers (Yimou) Hero (Yimou) The Assassin (Hsiao Hsien) Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (Lee) Mua he chieu thang dung (A la verticale de l’été) (Tran Anh Hung) Other films by well-known and / or awarded directors who have never had a collector's edition, and that I would very subjectively love to buy one day: Breaking the waves (Von Trier) (Multi award-winning contemporary classic that has never known a collector's edition in any format) Fitzcarraldo (Werner Herzog) Cat People (Paul Schrader) Cold War (Pawel Pawlikowski) I think it will be one special edicion in Korea but... The Producers (Mel Brooks) Last tango in Paris (Bertolucci) The tree of life (Terrence Malick) Funny games (Haneke, original version) The fisher King (Terry Gilliam) Solaris (Soderberg) And others i like: Maggie. With Arnold Schwarzenegger. Girl with a Pearl Earring. Few films will give so much play and opportunities at a visual level for the design of a beautiful edition. The Science of Sleep. A great Michel Gondry film. One from the heart. Francis Ford Coppola. Broken flowers. Jim Jarmusch. Tropic Thunder. Ben Stiller. Brubaker. Stuart Rosenberg. 2010 The year we make contact. Peter Hyams. Being John Malkovich. Spike Jonze. The Sheltering Sky. Bernardo Bertolucci. The swimmer. I love this rare and impressive film with Burt Lancaster. Hair / One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest / Man on the moon. Three famous classic films by Milos Forman. The Devil's advocate. And other great films people had put in this thread lime American History X, Denis Villeneuve - Enemy, Das Boot, Coherence, and many others... And last, TV-shows. A big a large market segment that often does not know what a collector's edition is: Hannibal Chernobyl Sharp Objects The leftovers Some will be more interesting, some will not, some will be more viable, some will not, but ideas and suggestions will not be missing.

I have a contradictory relation with this serie of WCL editions: some seems dazzling, great, and very appropriate for the film; while others seem interesting but not especially linked to the film. Not because the draw and its conception have no relation -for example- with the plot, but because from the aesthetic it is not linked to what the film expresses. I don't know if I'm expressing myself well. In the case of "The Beguiled", the design seems to me absolutely brilliant, and very linked to the climate of the film, the protagonist and its circumstances. Besides, it seems very really elegant. Of those kind of editions that you like to see on the shelf because, in addition to liking you, in general they look great. Congratulations to the designer wherever he is. I look forward to having her in my hands.

If the GB is obviously closed, and the edition it's not already out of print, how I would do to buy a copy? Thank you very much.

@R1s1ngs0n My list is subjective, because a list must be subjective. Another thing is to think about if you're making a list of the best movies, or about the ones you liked/entertained more. It's not always the same. In my case, I have seen many superhero movies during the last decade, I don't know if I will have missed any; but beyond "Logan", which I think is really good, I've not seen any that -for me, subjectively- should be among the first forty positions from a list where you value the best movies. By the way, you made me realize that, incredibly, and I don't know why ... oh my god... I didn't include "Inception" in my list. I've done it! And I adore "Inception." I love "Inception". It's a great movie. I knew I was going to forget some, but this forgetfulness is unforgivable; my head betrayed me cowardly. And I like many of the titles on your list too, even the ones I didn't put in mine. Sicario, The Handmaiden, Mad Max Fury Road, Snowpiercer, Blue Jasmine, The Social Network, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and many others are great films, I have it at home. I like the variety of your list, I like to see very different films, not the typical list only about a a type of movie. Off topic: The Handmaiden, for me probably one of the most beautiful steelbooks I've seen ever. But making these lists is funny, and seeing other's too. You always find movies that you have not seen, or you discover you've done a totally unforgivable mistake

A decade is time enough for many things. And many things have changed in the last 10 years. It's funny, because I didn't have the impression that it would have been a great decade of great movies, but the truth is that there have been many good examples. And in this time of lists and ratings, I've made my own list. I'm sure I've forgotten more than one, but these are for me the 40 best movies of the last decade. 1. Inland Empire (David Lynch) 2. Melancholia (Lars Von Trier) 3. The Irishman (Martin Scorsese) 4. Interstellar (Christopher Nolan) 5. The Master (Paul Thomas Anderson) 6. La grande bellezza (Paolo Sorrentino) 7. Cold War (Pawel Pawlikowski) 8. Nocturnal animals (Tom Ford) 9. Phantom Thread (Paul Thomas Anderson) 10. Cemetery of Splendour (Apichatpong Weerasethakul) 11. Le livre d’image (Jean-Luc Godard) 12. Incendies (Denis Villeneuve) 13. Paterson (Jim Jarmusch) 14. Parasite (Bong Joon-ho) 15. La la land (Damien Chazelle) 16. Gone girl (David Fincher) 17. Lucky (John Carrol Lynch) 18. Her (Spike Jonze) 19. Zero Dark Thirty (Kathryn Bigelow) 20. Gravity (Alfonso Cuarón) 21. Fire will come (Oliver Laxe) 22. Coco (Lee Unkrich, Adrian Molina) 23. The grandmaster (Wong Kar Wai) 24. The room (Lenny Abrahamson) 25. Arrival (Denis Villeneuve) 26. Inside Llewyn Lewis (Ethan Cohen, Joel Cohen) 27. The counselor (Ridley Scott) 28. Locke (Steven Knight) 29. Before midnight (Richard Linklater) 30. Edge of Tomorrow (Doug Liman) 31. Toni Erdmann (Maren Ade) 32. Perfect sense (David McKenzie) 33. A ghost story (David Lowery) 34. Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood (Quentin Tarantino) 35. Right Now, Wrong Then (Hong Sang-soo) 36. Midnight in París (Woody Allen) 37. Buried (Rodrigo Cortés) 38. Listen to me Marlon (Steven Riley) 39. Logan (James Mangold) 40. Rams (Grímur Hákonarson) Some of these films are minority, but others are known, or directed by well-known directors, and it catches my attention that, at least in the most famous films of this list... there are so many without a collector's edition. Hopefully at some point I can buy some collector's edition of films like "Cold War", "The Irishman", or "Nocturnal Animals", for example.

What I like most about this edition is that designers have tried to offer a global aesthetic for all its elements. It's not the typical edition where the full slip -or lenticular- go in one way, the steelbook on other way, and the rest each on its side. You may like it more or less, seem better or worse, but here everything has a meaning, it's related. And that shows a care for the edition that I -as a small collector- valued a lot.

Someone should set up a scoreboard that shows how many MP Community people have regretted not buying it after seeing those images. Awesome. Totally awesome. I hope my other self has signed up for GB.

A post that is like a museum... You can enter, and go walking seeing different jewels distributed in time, looking to one side or another, post after post, stopping to contemplate in detail the ones you like most. Congratulations. It is a great collection. I am very envious;)

In this post I've seen things you people wouldn't believe... Congratulations. It is absolutely impressive. It has left me speechless. Both for quantity and quality. And thanks for the work that has had to give you to photograph everything.

I hope this becomes a great release and proof that there are titles that are not current blockbusters but that can have a very interesting market in special editions for collectors. There is a market waiting there, and some anxious fans. For those who want to take advantage of it.

I think it's beautiful and elegant. I like it. And the lenticular image has some very careful little details. Thank you! I hope to have it on my hands soon!

Oh... it's a pity... It's not easy at all to find collector editions of this kind of movies, no matter how good, and important as its director. It would have been a great purchase. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the information. Does anyone know if the book also includes texts in English? Thank you very much.

I love the first design. It's really elegant, one of this kind of full slips that you want to have in your hands to touch it.

I didn't know this edition. It's really nice. It's a pity not to have known at the right time to bought it. Thank you for the images.

Hi everybody. My username was an impulsive choice when I was younger, in the first times of Internet around us. Then, over time, when one begins to work and is a professional, I found it fun to add the "Co", and I began to be "Casiusco". The avatar belongs to one of my favorite movies, Wim Wenders "Paris Texas". Travis is a stubborn character, but fragile at the same time, determined to continue his path, although deep down he doesn't know what it is. Someone able to escape while returning. Hiding some secret wisdom behind some old wounds. But, in addition, it’s the image of a character whose walking in Texas shows very well what is purchasing cinema in physical format today. Without knowing where you are going, unable to stop, not wanting to stop, with everything ahead, and no matter what people say. I love my personal collection. More than twenty years adding good times. I am not able to talk about her without smiling. And that must be good, right?

I don't know if it will be fast or not. But if it's fast it will be because good reasons. And that is one of the best things in the movie collecting: good reasons, being able to get excited. That there are things that you are wishing to have in your hands. I only hope that if you're right, and here this is so, if someday I think I've spent more money than I should in some editions, and then I look myself in my mirror, I don't see Jack's face.

Hi everybody. Thank you very much for this nice welcome. I’m a new forum member from Spain. I’ve a long history of more than a decade in film and collecting forums in Spanish, and, I don't know why, despite having read you many times, I had never registered here before. It has no logic. Like that girl you see a lot of times, that you like, and to whom -for no reason- you never get to say anything. You think she’s lovely, but you still don't say anything, letting time pass by inertia; stettled to see her as if that were normal, or there was no other option. Until one morning comes, when you think -quiet- few minutes about this, and say to yourself: why have I lost all this time? Why? And then you register in the forum without want to think about all the moments you've lost before. The avatar belongs to one of my favorite movies, Wim Wenders "Paris Texas".
