"I love the moment in the commentary to 'A Knight's Tale' when the director and writer suggests the listener goes off and get's a beer.They've even managed to go some way with this ....
Or in the LotR: TTT when Peter Jackson suggests they could embellish the existing films with another year's filming instead of making sequels and his wife Fran tells him to stop.
Or the whole of Almost Famous:Untitled which Cameron Crowe delivers with his mom in the room.
Or Vanilla Sky in which he calls Tom Cruise halfway through to ask him some questions.
Or any of the tracks on the Ocean's Eleven remake.
Or the bit on the Star Wars: Attack of the Clones which Lucas tries to make a Kevin Smith reference and gets it terribly wrong.
Or The Limey where the writer picks a fight with director Steven Soderbergh who he believes ruined his words.
Or Y Tu Mama Tambien in which the two teenagers deliver the commentary in character, sounding as though they're getting high.
Katie Manning in any of her Doctor Who commentaries. She's daft as a brush.
Or Spinal Tap, again in character in which the band seek to debunk the enterprise.
Or the bit in The Player commentary when Altman says he can't be bothered doing audio commentaries.
Or The Opposite of Sex in which Don Roos and friends talk about how poor some sections of the filming where and how they could have done so much better.
Or Pretty Woman as Gary Marshall sounds like your dad making a film and names names on failed casting choices."
