Cannibal the Musical, because Trey Parker and company are drinking the entire time. They actually stop the movie at one point to go and get more booze. You can really hear them getting plastered as the movie goes on and by the end most of them are completely blitzed and slap happy.

Both commentaries on Equilibrium are informative and interesting, provinding the perfect balance of behind the scene info, fun side stories, and story disection. This is how a commentary should be.

The Goldeneye commentary was also well balanced and very informative (The jets on the runway were wooden cut outs!)

Robert Rodrigez's commentaries are well done too. Any of them.

Worst commentary? Go. A Director/Editor tag team that pretty much spends the entire movie talking about how great it was to be editing the film while they were shooting which allowed them to see problems early on and fix them without expensive reshoots. Fine, great... but do you have to bring it up 500 times and provide a new example each time?

[Kidsilk]

I haven't listened to a lot of commentaries, but my favorite (so far) is the one on Halloween.

[Slim_JGE]

The commentary track on the new Goodfellas SE with Henry Hill and the Investigator (I don't remember his name) was really interesting. I was quite impressed, a nice touch. I think my worst would be Tim Burton's commentary on his adaptation of Planet of the Apes... One of the most UNinformative wastes of time I've ever seen. He doesn't even explain why he chose to end the movie the way he did or why he interpreted the film as he did. He just talked about what they were doing or talking about behind the camera during every scene and stupid bullshit like that.

I agree :)

The car keys part of the commentary had me in stiches.

[Jim H]

Haven't even listened to 10 of them total but...

Most informative - Rob Rodriguez on El Mariachi. Incredibly useful if you want to make a low budget film, point in fact.

Most entertaining - Evil Dead 2.

[Damone]

Any of the ones by Kevin Smith or The Farrelly Brothers.
On Ocean's 11 the Brad Pitt/Matt Damon commentary was pretty good too.
It's been awhile since I've listened to that one but I think I remember them crackin' some Clooney jokes.

[The Lolo]

The Notorious commentaries are verrrrrryyy informative

[Dignan]

My faves....

Wes Anderson, Owen Wilson, and Jason Shwartzman on the Rushmore Criterion disc.

Any Rodriguez commentary(he needs to push for a SE of the Faculty, the one commentary-less Rodriguez film)
Say Anything(Cusack, Crowe, Sky)

Any Bruce Campbell commentary

JC/ Kurt Russel commentary on Big Trouble in Luttle China and The Thing.

Cameron Crowe on Vanilla Sky

Most Kevin Smith commentarys(barring J&SBSB, which was surprsingly flat)

Ivan Reitman/ Harold Ramis on Ghostbusters

any Fight Club commentary

[Saruman]

The Empire Strikes Back

Carpenter is the king of commentary.

All of 'em are hilarious especially the one with Roddy Piper on They Live.

The Rodriguez/Tarantino commentary for From Dusk Till Dawn is also a blast.

Francis Ford Coppola on The Godfather trilogy
Roger Ebert on Citizen Kane and Casablanca
Paul Thomas Anderson on Boogie Nights
Any Kevin Smith commentary
Sam Raimi, Bruce Campbell & Scott Spiegel on Evil Dead II

[Professor Paste]

Oliver Stone on JFK, because of the amount of information and fascinating detail he has at the ready.

David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel and Derek Smalls on This Is Spinal Tap, because it becomes a whole other hilarious experience.

[Potzer! 37]

Kevin Smith has the best commentary tracks ever! Funny, very funny. Maybe not so informative, but still good. In fact, after recording the commentary for Dogma, kevin was pissed about how off topic it was from the movie. So he put in another one on just the film. Everybody is fucking hillarius on thoese things. I thing I like the commentary for mallrats, better than the movie. I still love Rats tho...
