What about Memento (sorry: Otnemem) when Nolan's voice suddenly goes into reverse just as he was about to "explain everything."

"Double take" I see whatcha did there.

Gilliam's commentaries are always great, nowadays even better than the movie I suppose. Can't wait to listen to how he made Timequake or Timescape or whatever the hell that dreck was called.

"Don't do this to me, Waylon!"

Oh yeah…
Norman Jewison too. Brilliant commenter.

Yes, Friedkin is horrible with the "I'm describing what you're watching" comments. Equally bad is Frank Oz, giving us such revelations as "You see, we filmed this scene before the previous one, cuz in movies you don't film scenes in order" for Bowfinger. Ooooh, really Miss Piggy?

Best Commenter ever…
…has got to be John Waters. He clearly loves filmmaking and seems to have total recall about every day of shooting he ever had on every film. He mixes hilarious anecdotes with historical background along with production details about guerrilla filmmaking. As funny as his movies!

Check out Beach Blanket Bingo if you want to see some reeeeal depressing Keaton footage.

He also got erections during his speeches and occasional spontaneous orgasms.

Hey leave Albee alone, at least he gave us a play about a man fucking a goat.

Bugger, Erm, Arse. Just how many Brits work for this place?!?

Mmmm, TJane in shorty-shorts…

Supposedly, a woman asked Berle's wife if it was true about his dong. After the woman acted impressed, Mrs. Berle said, "Does your husband's work? Then be grateful for what you've got."

Rape is least funny when it happens to a child.

Only two shows were ever banned in our house: Three Stooges, "too violent" and Hogan's Heroes because "there's nothing funny about the Holocaust." Everything else was fair game…
