Director`s Commentary - Which is best?

Since viewing Braveheart and Hollow Man using this device I have become engrossed in the film-making process and would love to see some more. Not that bothered whether the films that good as my local vid shop rents DVDs at £2 a throw, as long as the director`s commentary`s worth listening to.
Thanks.

Have a listen to the following:

There`s Something About Mary (Farrelly Brothers)
Bride of Chucky (two separate tracks, one with the actors, one with director Ronny Yu)
Contact (*three* different commentaries - Jodie Foster, producers, special effects team)
Urban Legend (Jamie Blanks and others)

There are plenty of other good ones, but those are the R2 discs I can think of with the most illuminating and entertaining commentaries.

The best DVD commentary I`ve heard by far is Bruce Campbell`s track on the uncut Evil Dead special edition from Elite Entertainment, but you won`t find that at your video shop :-)

try Michael Bay`s Criterion Collection of Armageddon: Directors Edition which is great!

Anything by Daivd Fincher, SE7EN, Fight Club is worth listening to

DAWN OF THE DEAD !! Great commentary by FX Master Tom Savini. Very funny and informative. This film is worth the price alone for his commentary!

American Pie
Blair Witch Project
Alien
X Files Movie

And Beyond The Mat, Mick Foley is hilarious!

And doubledown is that the R2 version of "Dawn Of The Dead" if it is the actual quality of the DVD good?

Cheers
