Anybody hear any good DVD commentaries?

The film historian who did the commentary for Criterion's 39 Steps redefined the word pedantic for me. Ugh.

MartyS (Gromit)

The commentary track on As Good As It Gets is one of my favorites.

The one on The Lion The Witch And the Wardrobe is also great.

Both of those are as entertaining as the movies themselves.

What about on-screen commentaries? Fargo has a great one... but for the life of me that is the only one I can think of right now.

I think Muppets Christmas Carol has a visual "shadowrama" commentary with Brian Henson and Gonzo and Rizzo. It's either that one or Muppets Treasure Island.

Also, Ghostbusters has a shadowrama visual commentary too.

It's actually Muppets From Space.

Ah, that would explain why I was unsure, as I hardly watch that one.

I think that puts you in the majority.

Yeah. It's not a good Muppet movie, but compared to crap like Muppets from Oz and the other made for TV movies, it's friggin brilliant!

Sad, but true.  I'm hoping Jason Segel's reboot will be better than, let's say, Muppet Treasure Island.

I loved Muppet Treasure Island. But it isn't as good as Christmas Carol or the first two Movies.

And on that topic, Muppet Christmas Carol has quite interesting commentary. I wish all the original muppet movies did.

I love it when they do interviews and stuff with the muppets in character. Like the 'making of' on the Muppets Christmas Carol DVD with Brian Henson talking to Gonzo and Rizzo.

I loved the gag reel on that--it's funny to me that they mess up and such but they still say things through the puppets.

Yeah. I know it's got to be hard work, but it must be fun to be a Henson puppeteer.

The commentary for the uncut Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker is great. There's a hilarious moment where they talk about Mark Hamill getting worried that he might have to record another "Joker-falling-from-a-really-tall-location" yell (which apparently happened a lot during Batman: The Animated Series) during one of the recording sessions, and someone does a pitch-perfect impersonation of him whining "He's not gonna fall from someplace really high again, is he?"
