How many of your DVDs feature overtures?
Always thought it was kinda neat when movies of old had overtures at the begining. The ones I own that do are The Great Race, Ben-Hur, The Cowboys, How The West Was Won and Star Trek The Motion Picture - any others out there?

The Happiest Millionaire.
Might be more, can't be sure offhand. Next purchased will be The Great Race, someday. If Star Trek has one, I must have that on my LD. Haven't watched it in awhile.

As mentioned before, The Black Hole has one...
and, although I haven't opened the DVD yet, "King of Kings" should have one. The official VideoCD release had one.

I do wish modern movies still did this. Imagine walking into LOTR:ROTK and hearing the familiar LOTR themes playing in full majesty. Certainly beats those lame slide show ads with the stupid movie trivia questions.

I don't remember Dancer in the Dark has some Overture.

Movie Star Background, comments by actors and directors, scene locations in other countries besides USA. I also make video catures with own URL, for other friends on the net, that want a certain pic. Found on discs like "Swiss Family Robinson" or "The Abyss" both have 2 discs plus others.
