Thinking of this because I see an extended cut of Stripes has just been released (it's only $14 on Amazon.com), and some folks were talking about this legendary, hysterical commentary for "Dude, Where's My Car?" I personally love the commentary for "Say Anything," -- Cusack, Ione Skye and Cameron Crowe.

Maybe they could ask Bill Murray and Harold Ramis what they were doing in 1968 at the height of the Vietnam war? I'll bet it wasn't making lame, screwball military-themed farces.

What is the commentary for Say Anything like?

I find that the commentaries for the Kevin Smith movies are, at times, funnier than the movie. Chasing Amy in particular, when they're in the lesbian bar explaining Jason'Lee discovering he's in a lesbian bar after 45 mintues. Classic.
And yes, I did enjoy the Say Anything commentary. But then again, I enjoy Cameron Crow's writing so listening to his commentary is as enjoyable.

As my 100th post, I will point out that the Spinal Tap commentary is pretty damn great. They are all in character the whole time and complain (much like David Brent in The Office) that the whole thing was a 'stitch-up'.

the commentary by Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church for Sideways is quite enjoyable. they play off each other very well, just like in the film.

I don't know the best, but The Onion AV section's Commentarys of the Damned are pretty brilliant.
Like the extra shorts that come with the Incredibles.

It's very funny -- them in a room talking about making the film, remembering stories (the commentary was taped years after the album came out, so it was a reminiscent road trip for them to all be together watching the movie).
During the driving lessons scene, Ione and Cusack talked about the fact that if they didn't each have significant others during the filming, they definitely would have hooked up at that point.
Cameron Crowe is just a very engaging, natural, interesting personality, so I always enjoy his commentary (even on Vanilla Sky with the annoying Tom Cruise...).

If you enjoy Kevin Smith's movies and his sensibility, you should love the two-disc DVD "An Evening with Kevin Smith." I just watched disc one, and while some of the audience antics and questions drove me nuts, Kevin's stories are great. He tells a great story about being commissioned to write the new Superman movie, being produced by Jon Peters, uber-producer and former Streisand hairdresser.

And don't forget the Clerks cartoon DVDs.
The extras for Spinal Tap are almost a movie in length.

the criterion edition of brazil. Two versions of the movie on the discs. One is brilliant, the other will show you why studios should always be left out of the decisions on the tone and story of a film.
