Michael Shannon · 2010s

dir. Rian Johnson

A-Tier Lionsgate 4K. Rian Johnson's murder mystery with Daniel Craig's southern accent. The steelbook had a famous Easter egg slipcover that reveals plot details when flipped backwards, and it caused near-panic when it first released. The steelbook's distressed design means scratches and dents blend right in. Reprints are available through Lionsgate for around $71 USD plus shipping.
