I generally only listen to the comments on the deleted scenes.

A DvD without director and cast interviews is weak on content.

You should listen to the commentary on American Beauty. (Might need the Special/Awards Edition.) It is focused on technique.

I realize this movie is somewhat overrated, so please everyone hold your screeds.

One of my favourites was on the Apollo 13 DVD. They had Jim Lovell and his wife commenting on what was happening during the movie as they really saw it. I found it very informative compared to the movie, which itself didn't diverge from reality much.

I love most commentaries that have more than one person in them. When its just one person, there are usually long pauses where he or she is deciding on what to say, or just watching the movie (i.e. Mel Gibson, for Braveheart).

The commentary on UHF is really good. It's funny in a lot of parts.

The best bits right at the beginning..

O-rion, Orion is bank-rupt now!
