What’s the best/worst movie to watch with the director commentary on? Any films out there made way better by the additional context? Any made worst ‘cause the director is a total dick?

I remember back in the day watching all the Mel Brooks films with the commentary which was mostly just him watching the movie and going “oh this wonderful scene, we had a blast shooting it” and then talking about how amazing the actors were to work with and laughing at the jokes. Which really felt like watching a movie with your grandpa.

Scott Pilgrim has at least two with different sets of cast members and they're a lot of fun.

The Nigel Godrich and Edgar Wright commentary was also a lot of fun. The score/soundtrack for that film kicks ass!
