I'm planning to profile a DVD called "The Late Night Double Feature". I guess you can say that it's a homage to the fifties type of double bills.

The thing is, while this double feature consists of two movies, they play as one single title. There is no way to start the second feature directly from the main menu. You can, however, go directly to it via the Scenes menu, where it starts at scene #10.

My question is - should I profile this as one single title, or should I profile the two different parts as separate entities with dividers?

Would that be this movie?

I'd say: if there are two separate Cast and Crew lists (one for each movie), then profile them as such. If there aren't (just one Cast and Crew list in the movie), treat it as a single entity.

Yes, that's the one.

I should point out that this was made as a single feature. The two parts have never been available separately, and I am pretty sure that they never will.

I haven't actually watched it yet, but since it's meant to mimic a normal double feature I would assume that there are separate cast and crew credits.

The answer depends on how the film(s) are presented.  Once you watch it/them, you should have that answer.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

^This

I had a case with Law & Order: LA where a two part episode was merged into one, each episode had it's own beginning credits and there was one set of end credits where they grouped them.  And being typical TV those in the beginning credits of each episode were not in the end credits.  So since the one set of end credits were in fact grouped by episode group dividers were the most appropriate action. 

If the two films you have each have separate and distinct credits simple episode dividers may be the most appropriate choice.  But like Martian said, you should have the answer once you watch it.
