I can`t say i`ve heard that many interesting ones, Ridley Scott deserves special mention for his sleep inducing style, as do most young American directors, i think the key to a good audio commentry is to be naturally funny, that`s why i`d say the have i got news for you commentry by Paul Merton and Ian Hislop is my favourite so far.

Any Sam Raimi or Bruce Campbell commentary is great. Michael Bay also does good commentaries. Peter Jackson on LOTR is also a great listen, as is the Cast commentary on LOTR.

I agree Ridley Scott`s voice is a put off, but he does record a good commentary. Tim Burton has got to be the worst....................he can`t speak............................for very long...........................without taking...............................a huge break.....................................it`s very boring.

Clerks is a good one, or any other Kevin Smith movie. usually very funny.

Have to agree with iain.j any with Kevin Smith, Mallrats & Dogma are particularly good as is Jay & Silent Bob.... Chasing Amy & Clerks are funny too... ok, all of them..

With chewie on Peter Jackson and Cast on LOTR`s, but the best so far for me is dir.Michael Apted on `The World Is Not Enough`. The worst would be one of the early Bond (take your pick) commentary`s which are just cut and past jobs from the included mini docs.

The commentry for Clerks is hilarious. They doone the commentry while they were on set of Mallrats and Jason Mewes was passed out on the floor, quality stuff.

The commentries on the Smith films are the best ive heard.

I think Bruce Campbell is the king of commentrys. Robert Englund comes a close second though - any commentary involving him is always entertaining.
All the ones on the Futurama boxsets are great too thanks to John Dimaggio and Billy West who are hilarious

I like Samuel L. Jackson`s contribution to the commentary on Deep Blue Sea.

As soon as his character exits the movie, so does he out of the `commentary booth`

Hilarious :D

Generally find these pretty tedious, but the Adam West/Burt Ward commentary on the 1966 TV spin-off movie `Batman` is just great. You can often pick this movie up for less than a fiver and I`d thoroughly recommend it for some genuine `60` kitch of the finest order! ;)

The best that I have listened to up til now would have to be Rob Rainer`s commentary on Stand By Me . It was a really indepth heart wrenching factfile on all the cast . Right from the regret that rainer had towards the kids who he felt he had to bully in order to get the maximum performance from them and right throught to his memory`s of the tragic death of River Phoenix .

Maybe not the worst but cettainly the most disapointing would for me have to be Superman The Movie . Richard Donner On his own would have been fine . But Richard Donner & Tom Mankiewicz was a disaster . On many occasion they would argue over what happened in which scene who hired who who thought of what and so on until it became quite annoying .
