Which are your favorite DVD MENUS? (1 Viewer)

[Steve Christou]

One of the things I love about DVDs are the clever menus, the ones that give you the feel and atmosphere of the movie, and puts a smile on your face when you see it, I know I know some animated menus get tedious when you have to click between features all the time, but many menus deserve credit for sheer imagination and layout, for instance...

Alien SE - A brilliant menu, I just love looking at the great CGI and sound fx on this one.

Aliens SE - Very atmospheric, perfectly suits the mood of the film.

The Abyss - I know many hate this one for being too slow and elaborate, but I love it.

ID4 - The White House blowing up, spectacular!

Ghostbusters - A fun menu, good animation!

Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Had me laughing, very pythonesque.

Die Hard - the Nakatomi building, helicopter flying across, nice.

And all the James Bond titles had fantastic animated menus and music.

....What are your favorites?

There's something about the North by Northwest menu that I really enjoy.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (I love the intros for both discs)

Lawrence of Arabia (Great intro, the menus perfectly suit the film.)

Monty Python and the Holy Grail: SE (I actually watched all the menus to see everything.)

Shrek (Great menus!)

Although it's kind of motionless, I like the menus for City Lights.

The region 2 version of Memento has fantastic menus, even if they are disorientating and somewhat confusing. The main menu selections can hardly be seen due to them being white on a very bright background, and they change positions after every menu loop! The special features menu is also strange - the choices spiral past one after the other in a continuous loop, and the option to return to the main menu is completely invisible. The scene selections are (appropriately) out of order and very confusing to navigate. I don't think I've ever seen any other DVD menus that match the mood of the film so well.

One of the things I love about DVDs are the clever menus, the ones that give you the feel and atmosphere of the movie,

That is exactly the most important aspect of a menu in my opinion.
I am glad to see that others have mentioned Lawrence of Arabia, as the menus truly give the feel and atmosphere of the movie! Very well done!
I also love the menus on Terminator 2: Judgment Day UE!
