The ones on The Simpsons are actually pretty good. Kind of makes the wait worthwhile. they really do take their time with every episode.

When I activate the commentary, I want to hear (the director, for the most part) talk about how and why the scenes were put together as they were. I want a deeper understanding of the film.

A good example of this is Natural Born Killers. Say what you want about the film itself (frisco :wink: ) but the commentary provided by Stone is extremely interesting.

A disappointment from recent memory is Coppola's commentary for The Godfather. I may have to give it another try but I seem to remember a lot of anecdotes having nothing to do w/ the technical aspects of making the film flooding the first half hour or so - stuff that I just don't care about.

Don't you hate when you watch a commentary, hoping to hear something insightful about a favourite scene of yours, only to get trivial information, or worse, stories that only the people involved think are amusing?

i like the lord of the rings commentaries since there are 4 of them on each movie. whenever one gets boring (which doesnt happen often) i can switch it over to the actors or the effects guys talking instread.

and i agree with the simpsons ones. they really point out a lot of the little things that a lot of people miss.

the simpsons ones are good.

the best i've hear by a LONG way is this is spinal tap. possibly funnier than watching the film without it.

Spike Lee usually does them well. Sometimes he sounds like a film professor, which he is, and sometimes he just tells cool stories about the making of his movie.

conan the barbarian. opening line goes something like this:

john milius(director): "hi, i'm arnold schwarzeneggar"

arnold: "and i'm john milius........ha. if you believe this then you believe that richard simmons doesn't like little boys."


i had heard somewhere that this is the reason that all of the dvds now have the disclaimer saying that the commentaries do no represent the views of the production company or something like that.
