Nice artwork, although I would have preferred the original poster art. I also wish they'd use standard BR cases.

I love the Digibox format, but I too would have prefered the original art work - why do they always feel the need to change it - esp when it's so beautiful??

I long for the days when Warner used the very stylish gatefold packaging for their Two-Disc SE DVDs. I wonder why they stopped using them. I also don't understand why they changed their custom of using original poster artwork on the packaging. Whenever I see something like that Dr Zhivago art I cringe - it sort of cheapens the movie and lessens the experience a bit. Bring back the beautiful artwork, please!

Perhaps someone will do a custom cover using the original artwork.

When I think of how the beautiful, stylish and distinctive original poster art was used on the DVD but the Blu-Ray uses this generic, Photoshop-floating-head "eh, whatever" cover, it disappoints me.

At least it's better than the cover for "Fame" (the original).

I don't mind the digibook packaging and I'm glad this isn't a Box O Junk exclusive.
