What do you see as disappointments vs successes? Is it titles or mastering?

Don't get me wrong- they have made some terrific packages: 2001, Heat, Paris Texas spring to mind.

But they also have had some pretty bad ones (artwork-wise) like Carlito's Way, The Sting, and The Thing.

Don't get me wrong, they do some fantastic stuff- just sometimes the art choices leave me scratching my head. I still regret blind buying The Sting, as the artwork is just not representative of the film (imo). My Wcl of Wild at Heart is serviceable at best. However, I love my editions of 2001, Paris Texas, Heat.

I suppose it's just a little shocking when they do really great editions like 2001, and then do something like The Sting box set. (Almost like they have an "A" team and a "B" team).

i always have high hopes when WCL does something. But, you never know if it will be like 2001 (chef's kiss), or like the John Waters box (not great art, there).

I guess that comes down to art choices (which of course, are subjective)---like, I find Citizen Kane, and Roman Holiday pretty blah. Titles on boxes. Whereas 2001 was an instant classic release.

No label is perfect, of course- and perhaps my earlier statement was overly (and perhaps, unjustly) harsh.... Maybe it was my disappointment over the last few choices of artwork.

But, it is true that for every release they have that is stellar, their have been a few that made me regret it. But, this certainly true of other labels as well- and they can't ALL be winners. And it doesn't help that a lot of the time the in-hand inspection is the only way to know for sure. (I still am not sure if I am missing out by not getting the Clouzot box- but it looks very plain- but in-hand maybe it's geat? Dunno).

I like WCL- but maybe it's because their good ones are so good, that the not-so-good ones feel like such a let down.
 

*Field of Dreams is a head scratcher. It is literally an image of some random field.
