Which DVD do you think is the best Filmschool in a box?

The Magnolia Diary is one of the best one I've seen.

The 'Filmschool in a box' theory is, I think, Brett Ratners. I haven't seen the Red Dragon DVD though...

Contempt. The Dinosaur & the Baby interview is absolutely the best extra I've ever seen.

also, Hard Eight, with the Sundance footage and the two commentaries, is pretty great.

Boogie Nights is the one I've watched the most, though it's more for movie excitement, rather than cold hard info.

The Brotherhood Of The Wolf (canadian) triple disc is also amazing. There's an on-the-set doc that is just as good as the Magnolia one. Also, the deleted scenes run an hour, with the director explaining about each one in between, and showing a lot of edits and behind the scenes stuff at the same time.
Those who say that the totalitarian state of the Soviet Union was not "real" Marxism also cannot admit that one simple feature of Marxism makes totalitarianism necessary:  the rejection of civil society. Since civil society is the sphere of private activity, its abolition and replacement by political society means that nothing private remains. That is already the essence of totalitarianism; and the moralistic practice of the trendy Left, which regards everything as political and sometimes reveals its hostility to free speech, does nothing to contradict this implication.

When those who hated capital and consumption (and Jews) in the 20th century murdered some hundred million people, and the poster children for the struggle against international capitalism and America are now fanatical Islamic terrorists, this puts recent enthusiasts in an awkward position. Most of them are too dense and shameless to appreciate it, and far too many are taken in by the moralistic and paternalistic rhetoric of the Left.

Hi, I'm new and thought this would be a great thread to contribute my first post.  If you're a scifi filmmaker, then the Star Wars episode 1 and 2 DVDs are definetly mandatory viewing. Very inspirational to any scifi filmmaker.  The Gladiator DVD shows tons of behind the scenes too... for not CGI movies, I love the Swingers and Made DVDs... they are both full of tons of info about the filmmaking process.

I love the Requiem For A Dream DVD.

Great behind-the-scenes footage [with a commentary by Aronofsky], and two really awesome commentaries [one of which is a DOP commentary, possibly the single most informative thing I have heard in my life].
