Title: Composer commentaries
Post by: Find Your Magali on October 19, 2003, 04:03:57 PM
I have never listed to a composer's commentary on a DVD.

I know they're pretty infrequent to begin with, but was wondering if anyone had ever listened to one and/or could recommend some of the more insightful ones.

Reason this came up was because I saw that Randy Newman has a commentary on "Pleasantville" and my interest was piqued.

although the composers arent the sole voices on the actual commentary,  RoA and ravenous have some that are pretty good

Been a fan of his from Oingo Boingo days, I've only listened to Danny Elfman's commentaries (Planet Of The Apes, Edward Scissorhands, Pee Wee's Big Adventure (good one because it was his first score), Red Dragon) and he usually gives a lot of insight on his approach, inspirations and personal tastes.
