The Five Best DVD Commentary Tracks
5. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, "Good Will Hunting"
The ultimate Hollywood underdog tale comes to life in this track, as the Oscar-winning writers recount the now-legendary backstory of the film that brought them from obscurity to Oscar glory.
4. Quentin Tarantino, "True Romance"
It's a shame Tarantino doesn't do commentary tracks on the films he directs, because he's damn good at them. The motormouthed, self-loving diva shares his infectious glee for one of his early screenplays. One of the best parts of the commentary comes in Tarantino's analysis of the battles he shared over the movie's ending with director Tony Scott.
3. Kevin Smith and Ben Affleck, "Jersey Girl"
A terrible movie, but the self-deprecating, witty banter between the writer/director and star makes the DVD worth buying. Smith and Affleck both honestly believed they had a piece of misunderstood excellence here, and it's fascinating listening to them defend its virtues while also making light of its shortcomings.
2. Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, "Swingers"
Like the Damon-Affleck scenario, only with much more personality and playful infighting. Favreau and Vaughn bicker like brothers as they recount one of the greatest movies ever made.
1. Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier, "Road House"
Smith and Mosier both goof on and worship this 1980s cult classic, and their spontaneous dialogue far surpasses the campy Patrick Swayze action flick.
