Care to elaborate? might have to give it a go if it sounds worth my time, watched the film a couple days ago..

Spinal tap had a pretty good commentary if i remember right, with the three of em keeping in character the whole time

That's probably my favourite commentary as it doesn't go into any information about the filming process, background to the project or anything else you'd usually find, but is completely entertaining them beginning to end, and even on the menu screen!

haha oh yeah id completely forgot the menus! Gonna have to get the dvd again i reckon, must've been a good 5 or 6 years since i watched it

Another outstanding commentary that comes to mind is the one Stephen Rebello did for Psycho.

The US DVD of Serial Mom has a great commentary featuring John Waters and Kathleen Turner. In fact come to think of it any Waters commentary is worth a listen.

I'd really like to recommend the video commentary for Dead Hooker In A Trunk.

So i just wondered what peoples favourite commentary tracks are...

Some of mine are:

The Ghastly Ones / Seeds of Sin (Something Weird) with Hal Borske and Frank Henenlotter (as a Milligan fan and yes i am hanging my head in shame at that one, this commentary if just too damn funny), in fact the commentary is probably better than the movie.

I Spit on Your Grave (Elite Millenium), the Joe Bob Briggs track rather than the Zarchi, in fact almost any Joe Bob Briggs commentary is good for a laugh.

Almost any David Friedman commentary on the SWV dvds...although he often goes over the same ground, they're never boring, not to me anyway.

The Thing with John Carpenter and Kurt Russell, the stories about Brimley are priceless...


To be honest, i'm just hoping people list some that i might not have listened to that are worthwhile...

I've just read the first postal far, but had to reply to t before I forgot!

I LOVED that commentary on I Spit on Your Grave! I laughed from start to finish!

By the way, where did you get a the Ghastly Ones and idiot region free?

I loved this as well.you can see how much love he has for Vampyr

I have that DVD, I'll have to give it a listen. I can't believe David Hess is dead

I listened to Katrine McColl's comm on the Vipco's City Of The Living dead and in it she sounded embarrashed to be part of the film never mind talking about it on the comm

I think the Ross Noble ones are funny - he takes the piss saying I'm in a little box going mad so by the end you might hear me barking like a dog

The Final Cut of Blade Runner is a good one but slightly dry
