I'll have to disagree. I absolutely love the music of Vaughan Williams, but the "imitation" opening music is still fantastic. Who composed it, though? All the original music in the film is excellent, so it's sad that whoever is responsible is still anonymous. Perhaps it really was George Martin?

I'm including a ton of RVW music, as well as 20 tracks from a Aram Khachturan CD (which included "Dance of the Boys" which is briefly heard during the one-eye march sequence) on the DVD-R I'm sending you.

I also got a hold on some Chaplin 2-reelers from 1916, so I'll include those as reference. There's some Jacques Tati clips I'll include, too since there's one obvious homage to a part from M Hulot's Holiday. It has to do with a single line.

I'm let down, though, that I can't find any Harry Langdon shorts in my DVD collection. I just bought an analog video capture unit, so I'll just have to transfer my copy of "The First Hundred Years" for you. Seriously, once you see one of his shorts, it'll be so obvious how Tack was modeled after him.

But you'll be getting the clips from AA/IDRR, all that classical music (I think I'll thrown some Raymond Scott/Charlie Chaplin CD's while I'm at it - you'll have to decide if the music is appropriate or not), the extra clips, the full 2-disc RR set, "The Raven" with Vincent Price, and whatever else I can find to fill up a DVD-R or two.
