The Lord of the rings movies are decent, the hobbits are funny.
Spinal Tap is the greatest Commentary ever. Go watch it.

The Omen was actually pretty good. Richard Donner is funny as hell.

28 Days Later. The commentary was almost as interesting as the movie.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Excorsist director's cut commentary was fucking painful William Freidkin is about as interesting as crumbled papier mache

Roger Ebert's commentary for Dark City also sucked. He said "Film noir" about 10 times in the first 15 minutes. i got tired of him (VERY pretentious) and turned it off, disgusted.

its funny but although i LOVE Spinal Tap i grew tired of the commentary. Couldnt even get all the way through it.

Some of the new Friday the 13th commentaries are good.

I though Road Kill was the best commentry I have ever listened to. I thought it was sooo good I have put it on again a few times for a good laugh.

It's sooo fucking funny. Two of the actors from the movie are doing it. Sorry, but I can't remember their names off the top of my head.

If you have it I recommend listening to it.

Rutt & Tuke in Brother Bear (The animated commentaries on DVD)

i loved it like having to different versions of the film.

I am rather fond of:

The commentary tracks on the Director's Edition of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"

and

"Big Trouble In Little China"

.....and "Zombie," as well, just for the heck of it.

I haven't heard it yet...but I just won an auction on ebay for the full UK version dvd of Shaun of the Dead...a commentary by zombies?!?
That's gotta be kinda funny...

As for the other commentaries, to be honest, I have like 65 or so dvds, and I don't think I've ever listened to one...?
Seems to me like it'd be similar to having some noisy jackass sitting near you in the cinema.
Although for the information kinda thing, it may not be too bad. I think I'd have to just listen to it and not watch the movie though...

Yeah ChEEbA, I don't usually watch the DVD's when I listen to the commentary. Usually browsing the net or posting on here... and just glance up to see what shot they are talking about.

It can be really interesting to find out little details like - This scene was re-done this many times because of... and, this scene was originally going to be... I love that shit.

You should have a listen ChEEbA.

Edit - fixed my spelling.

best use for DVD commentaries:


Doing the dishes or other chores. I agree, sitting through the commentary if that is ALL you are doing is not fun.
