I don't know how many of you guys listen to commentaries, but they are usually my favourite of special features when it comes to DVDs. I personally think that ALL DVDs should come complete with a commentary or two.
Of course, it depends on who's doing the yak-track. Some crap films have had decent commentaries (Punisher) some 5 star films have disappointing commentaries (Memento), BUT like I said, it depends on who's doing it.
And with that, i'll run down with my favourite DVD commentarie tracks. I hope to see a list of some of the mofos favs as well.
1) A History Of Violence (David Cronenberg) - Man, is this bloke loqacious. Cronenberg doesn't skip a beat, articulating his theories and concepts into what was the most interesting film of 2005. His commentary opened up a completely new perspective on the film for me, and it's one i'd even listen to again.
2) A Room For Romeo Brass (Paddy Considine, Shane Meadows) - Lol, this was a funny commentary that was brutally honest about the entire production of the film, which is contrary to most commentaries. Paddy Considine is even more funnier when he is being himself. In fact, i'd go as far as to say he took the piss a bit too much. Funny commentary if you wanna laugh.
3) Brick (Rian Johnson) Superb commentary! It's a must-listen if you want to know what it takes to make an independent debut. Johnson doesn't pull any punches, and also gives away some interesting secrets and advice about getting your feet wet for the first time in the film industry.
4) Blade 2 - Unsurprisingly, in addition to being very talented, Guillmero Del Toro is also a bit of a comedian. Giving insightful production details as well as burping a lot, he nearly turns the film into a bit of a comedy itself.
Anyways, can't wait for you guys favs.
