5.0 out of 5 stars A few hidden extras..., December 17, 2001

By	Geoffrey McNulty "Rock Squad" (Knoxville, TN USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Okay people, I found all of the extras, so it's time to update them for you.

First, go to the song select. There is a star that will be highlighted, before "Boys Don't Cry." This star does absolutely nothing that I have found.

There is a hidden star after "Just Say Yes" that shows the "Greatest Hits" album cover.

Now for the real extras...

"The Caterpillar"
Highlight "The Walk" and press down, right, right.

"Close To Me (Closer Mix)"
Highlight "Close To Me" and press up, up, up.

"Pictures Of You"
Highlight "Friday I'm In Love" and press down, down, down.

All 18 videos are under Title 1, Chapters, 1-18.
All 6 acoustic videos are under Title 2, Chapters 1-6.
The Cover of the Greatest Hits album is under Title 3, Chapter 1.

There are three bonus videos:

"The Caterpillar" is under Title 4, Chapter 1.
"Pictures of You" is under Title 5, Chapter 1.
"Close to Me (Closer Mix)" is under Title 6, Chapter 1.

All of the videos, including the live and hidden videos are available in both 5.1 and stereo mixes. Now if only they would release the rest of them on DVD...

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly Surprised, July 24, 2002

By A Customer

I've always liked listening to The Cure, having grown up with their music. However I realized after seeing this for sale that I had never actually seen any of their music videos (save High and maybe Lovecats randomly on late night MTV). My opinion of the band has grown to a new level since purchasing this DVD. I have to start out by saying that everything on this DVD maintains the creative and emotion-evoking qualities I have grown to love from this band. Even the menu is cool how its over-saturated, moody dark blue tones are backdrop to a single, slowly spinning star. The experience is hard to define as anything but very Cure-ish. It's also fun to watch the videos chronologically as the band develops its artistic style. Seeing A Forest for the first time I couldn't believe how buttoned down and conservative they looked! The sound is also awesome. Listening to the songs in Dolby 5.1 really allows you to hear how layered and complex they really are (the songs not the band). Anyway, I would definitely recommend this DVD to anyone who is at all interested in The Cure. The video quality is superb (especially the acoustic songs) and hearing the songs in 5.1 makes it that much better. I'm totally glad I bought this disc and will enjoy watching it for years to come.
