If you're referring to this art (embedded now), I'm wondering how you would have better used it than Kritzerland did:
Remember it's got to be modified to work in CD cover dimensions.

I myself posted some better art above, used on the French Blu-ray edition of the film.
I originally wrote, "I know the phenomenon you’re talking about, but I’m pretty sure you’re wrong about it applying in this case, and that Kritzerland came up with the best cover design they could based on the available poster art."
Emphasis mine -- I said I was "pretty sure", not "100% sure", and Bruce Kimmel is free to chime in and correct me, if he had some of that better art available to use, and opted not to use it for some reason. Maybe that exact cover was dictated by the studio. It could be, though often Fox seemed to be pretty flexible in what they allowed labels to use.

Spinmeister I love your custom cover work so if felt like trying your hand at a Barbarian and the Geisha cover I'd love to see what you come up with! I understand multiple reasons why some of the old poster art might not be suitable. What do you think of the newer French Blu-ray art, in terms of suitability?

I'm not even sure now, looking at it head-on -- is that even an original painting, or just a modern photo collage artfully made to look like a painting?
I get why it's the most adaptable, and a cover from it would make me happy, but it might not even satisfy what Onya or Basil want (original poster art).

It's a while ago now, but no, the studio dictated nothing to us - Nick and I both hated the one sheet art and it certainly didn't crop well. We both liked the image we ended up with very much. We always use original art when it works and makes a good cover. But sometimes you have to go a different way rather than have ugliness. 
OnyaBiri, if you drop me an e-mail let's see what we can do for you if you want all three. I happen to love the Barbarian score - it's pure and wonderful Friedhofer, with some great themes. The Geisha Boy was one we probably shouldn't have done because no one cared, but I love the score so we did it knowing it would not do well. And My Geisha is beautiful Waxman and it was a treat to do.
