thanks to all who make these kickass covers - Rik's Pearl Harbor covers enticed me into being excited about Pearl Harbor, which I'm looking forward to (despite the naysayers)

I've had a yearning for a few alternate dvd covers for some existing dvd releases (like the Serenity covers, which I'm eagerly anticipating as well) - Soderburgh's Out of Sight in particular

this was the theatrical release poster

this was the crappy, head-shot heavy, video release cover

if anyone wanted to mount an attempt at that one I'd be incredibly appreciative - I thought Out of Sight was more deserving of Criterion treatment than Traffic was

it ticks me off when they destroy great imagery for films in favor of headshots of actors - same thing with Lost Highway (which still isn't available in the US in widescreen)

theatrical release
video release

other requests (if these exist already and can be linked to that'd be great as well):

Song of the South
Crimewave (1985 - dir. by Sam Raimi, writ. by Raimi and Coen Bros, not available in US)

thanks again for all your work, people
