aye, i hear ya.. the mummy returns is one of them... zzzzzzzzz...

Ah man dont get me started, they look cheap too.

I thought the menus on the first release of TRAFFIC were excellent. I haven't seen the criterion ones, but these were definately of a criterion standard.

i like the cecil b. demented menu. band of outsiders and boogie nights is pretty good.

one thing i hate about menues is when, lets say, you go to the set-up option, music starts and every time you select something, the song stops and starts over again,so you hear the first 2 seconds of that music like three times before you hit "play" at the bottom or "return to main menu" sigh

The Spinal Tap menu deserves a mention for the group's blathering while the menu first comes up. Funny stuff.

Man, the Memento Limited Edition is one of the worst ever. It's a cool idea, but I don't want to solve puzzles to get my extra features (I think there's a thread somewhere all about this).

I think I really like static menus with nice artwork most of the time. I'd rather not have to wait for an animation to finish before I can acces the menu, even if the animation is cool. Criterion menus are usually pretty simple, as are PTAs and Wes Anderson's.

Eraserhead's is awesome, just because it's a very rare deleted scene all by itself.

same way, i have the memento limited edition, there's a lot of stuff on it, except, i'm too lazy and not smart enough to figure it out.

fight club menu is cool
requiem for a dream - real nice
zoolander is basic but nice
spinal tap - funny commentary
amelie - french and cool
