The Sacrifice cover is beautiful. The font on the Stalker one is kind of silly... but yet... something about it works for me. I really want to rewatch Mirror.

The cartoon De Niro was totally jacked from this guy. This in another inexplicable cover. They used a still image from a film 8 years in the future.

Hey, Bye Bye Monkey.  Also, that Hi, Mom thing is a masterpiece and [imo] De Palma's best film. A sequel, of sorts, to Greetings, which I've not seen.

Re: Fake Criterion Covers
Yeah, thanks - I had some doubts about that one, with the lettering being maybe a bit too bright, and wasn't entirely sure about the photo. I now realize it's one of my best pics, and I'll definitely use it for an exhibition I'm planning for next autumn. Concerning the Photoshop: being quite the autodidactic one, I'm still learning new tricks every day - but I try to keep it simple.
