Re: DVD Commentary Tracks
 

I love commentaries. They're some of the best parts of the movie experience for me, of which the commentary is now a prime part. That's one reason why I hate when they come out with newer editions of DVD's I already have, and the new versions have commentary. Then I can't hear it unless I buy the same title twice! Two posts on this thread so far are movies I have and don't have the commentaries for.

I really loved the commentaries on the following, as examples.

Futurama
The Simpsons
Heat
Drunken Monkey in a Tiger's Eye
Aguirre, Wrath of God
Incident at Loch Ness
any Werner Herzog movie
Seven Samurai
The Magnificent Seven
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly
Once Upon a Time in the West
Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle
Goodfellas
Casino
Re-Animator
Frankenstein -- The multi-DVD collection with 4 or 5 Frankenstein films and commentary on all of them
The Wolfman -- same deal
Nosferatu
The Evil Dead 1, 2, and 3

I'm looking forward to hearing the commentaries on my Hitchcock DVD's and for The Chappelle Show, as well as for the 6th season of The Simpsons, which I just bought.

The original Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery has a pretty funny commentary with Mike Myers and director Jay Roach. For instance, when Austin wakes up and pees for a long time after dethawing, Roach says something like, "If you show a dumb gag long enough it is no longer funny, but if you KEEP showing it, at some point it becomes funny again."

Which insight, not to mention which scene of a prolonged act of public urination, he swiped from one of those Police Squad movies with Leslie Nielsen.

The Gosford Park commentary is excellent.

I liked the Ghostbusters commentary.

The Donnie Darko commentary was weird because the director's voice sounds just like mine.

Re: DVD Commentary Tracks
 

winner. the spinal tap one is great. for those that haven't listened to it, it is basically the characters commenting on how they were portrayed in a bad light by the director.

Re: DVD Commentary Tracks
 

Yeah, that was pretty good. But if I remember right I was a little annoyed because one of the guys didn't seem to be miced properly. Anyone else notice this?

From the first Naked Gun! movie. Unbelievably funny scene.

The commentary on the Family Guy DVDs is great.

Old School is funny.

i don't think i noticed this. i have the criterion edition with the silver lining around the top of the case.

also, a lot of the deleted footage is pretty great, and is a solid hour long if i remember right.
