The Taking of Power by Louis XIV
- It feels like such a slam to The Naked City for choosing such a simple cover over it, but no, both are great, this one is just such pristine, royal simplicity.

Haxan
Band of Outsiders
The Taste of Cherry
By Brakhage
- In regards to the above two (e.g. not voting for In the Realm of the Senses), sometimes a cover is too slick. I don't know if the feeling is at all sensible or sensical, but sometimes I look at a cover and it just doesn't feel enough like a DVD cover.
Louie Blouie
- The photoshopped look of Closely Watched Trains is charming, though.
