Xixax Film Forum

yeah, so I just got a job at a large video store and for the first time pretty much ever have access to myriad Criterion titles, basically the entire catalogue.  Obviously I've got a lengthy list of discs I want to check out, but I'm curious as to if anyone can reccomend some discs with particularly enlightening or insightfiul extras (docs, making ofs, commentaries, etc.)  I just don't want to miss out on any stellar supplemental material simply because I'm not immediately drawn to the film.  I know there is a hefty amount of DVD information on existing boards, and I definitely plan on going back through them, but I figured I'd go ahead and post this in case anyone can think of something off the top of their head.  Hell, if there is anything particularly worthwhile on a non-criterion disc (maybe on a DVD of a more obscure or "lesser" film,) you can go ahead and throw it out there too. 

To ask for something and not give anything back would be gay, so I'd say that everyone should watch The Physical History of M doc on the two-disc M Criterion and also the also the Lux Radio Theater version of The Lady Eve.

So yeah, hopefully this thread wont be too much of a bust.  God bless.   

I'm fucking pitiful at watching extras.  I read the essays.  John Cassavetes: Five Films has terrific essays.

Of the ones that I've seen, Do The Right Thing has had the best extras.  I also really enjoyed the extras on Naked.

The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas criterion has that great BBC Omnibus episode on Hunter S. Thompson. Look out for a young Bill Murray.
