I quite like the R3 DVD for Densha Otoko. It integrates a computer layout with a train, quite clever really. Good use of smilies and ascii art.

The Tartan R2 for shutter's quite nice, with the moving lens/menus.

Anyone else care to share? I might upload some grabs later of the aforementioned DVDs. Too lazy right now you understand.

HKL's menu for "The Killer" is brilliant.

Minimal animation as possible and if there's an animated intro that's it's skippable. Over-animated menus are really annoying IMO.

The MGM SE menu of Silence of the Lambs comes to mind as a really bloated over-animated one with an unskippable intro.

Talking of "Game of Death", the HKL menu for "Tower of Death" was absolutely great with a wonderful soundtrack.

Premier Asia's menus for "Bichunmoo" were also great.

I used to rate the DVD menus in my old HKL reviews and I remember that I gave the menu of "Tai Chi Boxer" full marks.

From a visual standpoint the region 2 two disc special edition? Of the Fifth element has wonderful menus. From a practical point of view I'm less keen on them as you have to pay attention or you'll have to wait until all the options go all the way round again.

What kind of menus do you guys like?

Personally I prefer specially designed menus that followed the theme of the movie. I don't really want to see clips from a movie right before seeing it.
