Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	I like the cases as snap cases (IE Braveheart and Saving Private Ryan) Posters are rolled of course. --Brian Writer & Film/Video Editor

Laurence Page Oscar® Winner	Box includes free offer of marriage from John Williams. But seriously - as I'm fairly new to the wonderful world of DVDs - if isolated scores are playable (minus the dialgoue) with the visuals - do they fade/edit like they do when mixed in the film? Or are they a completely seperate track that accompanies the visuals but may not "fit" exactly what you're seeing? I've got "Glory" on DVD but haven't fully tested the score only aspect yet... All the best PS Great thread idea - don't get me started on what a Star Wars box should contain...

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Lawrence, DVD Isolated Scores are a mixed bag. It really depends on the source. Some of them do fade in and have edits and volume variances, and others are straight off the masters. As for the "dream" set, well Spielberg has publically stated that he will NEVER do a commentary (he thinks that movies should be watched, not lectured). And I'm willing to bet that Lucas would want to mess with the vfx before any "special edition" could come out. And Spielberg would remove the guns. Oh, wait. That's in ET next year. Sadly, I'm NOT joking. Dan

Lancelot Oscar® Winner	The...uh....grail temple wasn't a matte painting, I'm pretty sure....it's the site at Petra. (exterior, at least.) Unless you're talking about the outer canyon shot, or the path of god shot...

Crono/Kyp Oscar® Winner	Hehe if the grail temple was a matte, it was a damn good one! But it had to be a real location, or a build set. --Brian Writer & Film/Video Editor

Marian Schedenig Oscar® Winner	A friend of mine said his father actually visited the original temple that was used in the film. Forgot where it is, though. NP: Anton Bruckner: Symphony #5 (NDR-Sinfonie-Orchester, Günter Wand)

dgoldwas Oscar® Winner	Yes, Lancelot is correct. The exterior of the "Grail Temple" is indeed one of the ruins at Petra, in Jordan. The place is MUCH bigger (and has more cliff-face carvings) than the little one seen in the film.... a very cool place. Dan

Mark Olivarez Oscar® Winner	I believe the same location and temple was used in Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger.

Probable Oscar® Winner	yes, yes, yes, but there was a matte used, not sure which shot...

lars b Oscar® Winner	Also, the discs should have hidden features, with an animated Indy that has to find the features in : The Map Room (Raiders) Pankot Palace (TOD) Venice (Last Crusade)

Richard Oscar® Winner	Frankly, I'm not that interested to hear what Speilberg has to say. As much as I like him...just not interested. I watched the Boogie Nights commentary with P.T Anderson two nights ago. It went off like a...well nevermind, but it was good. I wish Magnolia had a commentary track, because even though the Behind-the-scenes is good, a commentary track would "be the lick of my spoon".

Swashbuckler Oscar® Winner	Well, there are a lot of directors with much more interesting films than Spielberg that have done commentary tracks. The truth is that looking at the documentaries that accompany his films, he never really has anything that interesting to say about them. The commentary track is a fantastic feature, one that allows a filmmaker to explain how and why certain things were done. I particularly enjoy Terry Gilliam's commentaries for The Adventures of Baron Munchausen and The Fisher King, Martha Coolidge's for Rambling Rose, Francis Ford Coppola and Walter Murch's for The Conversation and Martin Scorsese's (with inserts by Paul Schrader) for Taxi Driver.
