I remember in the early 2000s renting American Pie 2. It had FOUR commentary tracks! Has anyone on earth listened to all four for that movie?
I mean it was funny (at the time, haven't seen it in years), but it's not really the kind of movie film buffs need to dissect to the end of time. Plus, they were all contemporary tracks. At least a 10th anniversary commentary or something would make more sense.

The Matrix sequels have multiple tracks, including one by critics and another by philosophers. The first one was good enough to justify them, but not the overproduced, overly-pretentious sequels.

Commentary tracks are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Generally speaking, the more the merrier.

Commentary tracks are a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Generally speaking, the more the merrier. Since you listen to a lot I'm curious. Any hidden gems? Hmm, I enjoyed listening to the one for Snatch, they keep taking about how the American distributors said that the commentary was boring and such. They seem to go out of their way to annoy em lol. The LOTR commentaries are fascinating, but you got to have a lot of patience to watch em. The real gems I have found have been in Family Guy and Simpsons commentaries. Oh man, I used to watch the Simpsons DVDs over and over again, just for the commentaries. I liked Conan O Brian commentating on his monorail episode and the one where Bart gets a crush. There's a part where the babysitter finds Jimbo pathetic because he cries when Moe threatens to murder him and Conan points out that's not fair, the kid had a butcher knife aimed at his chest and he broke down and begged for his life, and that makes him pathetic? I laughed and laughed. There's just so many.....Hmm, I liked the one where Bill and Josh defend Principal and the Pauper. I do find Season 6 and Season 5 to be enjoyable, because David Mirkin always comments on the actual episodes. Overall, from Season 2-9, you can't really go wrong with the commentaries (although I do own 10,11,12 which have some good moments, I own Seasons 13 and 14 as well, but just never got round to watching them) Family Guy....there is an episode which has Quagmire having sex with Marge and then he shoots everyone in the house including Maggie after a pause. The story/commentary there is verrry interesting actually. Oh, I haven't watched these for about 6 or 7 years, now I want to watch them all again! up to Season 8 as the commentaries kinda die out after that. The Stewie Movie is a good one where someone keeps provoking Seth saying 'I think Stewie might be here as well doing commentary" and finally Seth loses his rag and starts swearing in Stewies voice. Bear in mind that guest stars often do the Simpsons commentaries as well, and often the voice actors, so they're well worth listening to. Apart from that? I watched 'not another teen movie' cast commentary and one of the cast complained about the toilet scene. |

The first season of Harvey Birdman has a commentary on the Devlin episode featuring Turner's Standards and Practices people.

The Channel Awesome movies were guilty of this. I loved Kickassia and it would be one thing if it were performers like Linkara or Snob or Benzaie, entertaining people with something interesting to say. But you do not need three separate commentary tracks for Doug, Rob and Bhargo.

Yeah, I just watched Jesus Bro the other day and it has three - one of Brad and Ryan, one of Dave, Allison, Sarah, and Brian, and one of Doug, Rob, and Fard Muhammad. Not really clear on the purpose of the last one in particular, they weren't involved in the creative process of it and while two of them are main characters in it Doug really is only in like three scenes. |

A straight-to-video movie called Corrupt, which starred Ice-T and Silkk The Shocker, had a couple of commentary tracks. One of which was from Ice-T and the other was from two other actors who were in the movie. I had actually sat through this piece of trash movie, but I had also watched it with the Ice-T commentary, which is on YouTube, by the way. The movie still sucks, but the Ice-T commentary makes it worth watching. His commentary was hilarious.
