I wish more movies had a commentary track, at all. Special Features are the biggest thing I miss about physical media.

best commentary tracks i've listened to:
McTiernan's commentary on Predator
John Carpenter and Kurt Russell on Big Trouble in Little China

second one isn't actually good, per se, it's mostly just Carpenter and Russell catching up, swapping stories/gossip about mutual friends. they obviously barely watch the movie.

100% agree on both comments. BTLC is a favorite movie, av/post combination etc. But the commentary was a disappointment because it was like "oh hey how's your kid, oh good he's playing hockey etc" and all I wanted was to hear more about the making of the film.

John McTiernan commentaries are like film school classes. If you liked Predator, I highly recommend listening to his Die Hard commentary. He talks a lot about things like tone and geography, really interesting stuff.

For laughs, my favorite is the Conan The Barbarian commentary track. John Milius just keeps getting drunker and drunker as the film goes on, while Arnold spouts ground breaking insights like "Ja, this is the part where we are running!" (talking about the short montage after freeing Subotai)

I've heard Robert Pattinsons commentary on the Twilight movies is great. It's just his naked contempt for the trilogy for hours.

For real though, all of the LOTR ones are good. Especially the four Hobbits talking through the first one. It's obvious they are all buddies.

I'm pretty bummed the advent of streaming has killed the Special Edition DVD with that kind of stuff.

There's quite a few good commentary tracks where the people in them are obviously just enjoying catching up and the movie itself is pretty much ignored.

It's weird that streaming seems to of killed the commentary tracks thing, when like their so desperate for content you'd think, oh lets pay a few of the people in the thing were making for a few hours of their time, and like one or two other people to record and upload it would be a no brainier.

Like compared to how much content normally costs to make it's pretty much free. But yeah, stupid decisions streaming companies make is a pretty long list.

Oh and my favorite commentary track would probably be for El Mariachi. It's basically just Rodriguez giving a class on how to make a super cheap action film. Just a whole bunch of very straight forward, well explained practical advice.

Funniest is when they record a bunch of people obviously in the same room who are just joking around and having a bit of fun and barely talking about the movie, than they badly splice in another person who was obviously recorded separately and is taking it super seriously.
"hahah so I remember when you phoned me up from that random gas station and were like do you know where gently caress I'm driving to? and I'm like you were getting us pizza man that was three hours ago, where the gently caress are you? and you were just like I think I saw some tumble weed blow past so um maybe Texas??"

The Conan one is also great for Milius explaining things for the audience's benefit like "we filmed this in a small village just outside Madrid" and Arnold indignantly saying "I know!". Happens a lot.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Another fun "movie commentary" fact is that on the Deep Blue Sea commentary, Samuel L Jackson is there at the start, but as soon as his character dies he goes "OK, that was fun. I'm leaving now." and just fucks off home and is never heard from again.

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.

Star Trek: Insurrection's commentary with Jonathan Frakes and Marina Sirtis is pretty good for this.

The Die Hard DVDs had a cool featurette about Widescreen vs. Pan and Scan, and also an editing thing where you could edit a scene from a handful of clips.

My favourite was the Brass Eye director's commentary, which was done entirely by a group of homeless people who'd never seen the show or had anything about it explained to them.

Same. I still enjoy physical media a lot for a variety of reasons.

My favorite commentary track though has got to be This is Spinal Tap because the band do it in character and act like they're reviewing the film. [spolier]They didn't like it because they thought it made the band look stupid[/spoiler]

Kurt Russell is very funny in every commentary I've listened to him do - admittedly, that's only two - BTiLC, and The Thing, so he's been chatting with John Carpenter both times, and it's clear they are very old friends. He's especially funny every time The Hat comes onscreen in The Thing.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.
Seconding Star Trek: Insurrection as a classic commentary track. Without it, the movie is unwatchable. With it, it's up there with Wrath of Khan and Galaxy Quest as an all-time great Trek movie.

If you're looking for a S-tier hate watch: one time I got stuck on the commentary track to Love, Actually. My wife had fallen asleep on me (literally) halfway through the film, and the remote was out of reach. She was really tired so I decided to just let it run for a bit. The director was in the middle of making fun of Colin Firth for trying to act when I finally got up to shut it off 20 minutes in. The writer/director sounded like a profoundly mean-spirited, shallow idiot. Everything he said smacked of cynicism and bullying, someone who fundamentally does not understand or care about love in any sense. I already hated the movie before that but oh boy did that commentary track unlock a new level of contempt in me for that movie.

The commentary to the movie version of A Series of Unfortunate Events has the conceit of the author (Lemony Snicket / Daniel Handler) being held captive and recording the track against his will. At some point he breaks out the accordion and sings a song about how dreadful the scene he's watching right now is.

Then there's Galaxy Quest, which has an entire track in the alien language - just screeching, but perfectly synched up to people opening and closing their mouths.

For educational value, you can't beat the early Robert Rodriguez DVDs, especially El Mariachi. It's a veritable film school.

And the "Omega 13" menu option, which scrolls back the menu animation by 13 seconds.

When I saw that the rest of us just sat there dumbfounded and after a second all I could do was go "a-la-la-la-la-la" with that sideways clap.

I’ll throw out a recommendation for the commentary track on The Cave (2005), they have the writers on but apparently the script changed radically between their writing of it and what was actually made, and they loving hate the final product

Sort of related but the soundtrack has Ron Burgundy, sitting in his 700sq ft bathroom, introduce every song with little side stories. So many fond memories of discovering that accidentally :3:

Reno 911: Miami has four commentary tracks. Half the cast, the other half of the cast, that first half again in-character, and the second half in-character. All four tracks own bones, as does the movie itself.

For the Orgazmo commentary they're completely gone by the time they're doing the stuff for the outtakes. Just laughing their assess off asking why any of it was cut.
