cast or crew members you'd like to hear record a DVD commentary?(dead or alive) - DVDfile.com forum for DVD, Blu-Ray, and HD-DVD

George McFly · 12-08-2002, 05:33 AM

John Candy- I always loved how he puta funny spin on stuff
Spielberg- just to piss him off since he refuses to do any

mtcarmel00 · 12-08-2002, 06:15 AM

It would be awesome to have the principles from Star Wars (Hamill, Ford, Fisher, Jones, Daniels and Lucas) would record a group commentary Goonies style.

Agalloch · 12-08-2002, 06:30 AM

I'd like to hear Harrison on the eventual Indy discs.

Agalloch

palebluedot · 12-08-2002, 06:32 AM

Star Wars: New Hope
Sir Alec Guinness

Since he says he never liked the movies, I'd like to hear him on the commentary track. Would be an interesting view (that is if he were still alive...R.I.P.)

LemJe · 12-08-2002, 06:36 AM

I always thought it would be great to hear Sean Connerys comments on some of the Bond movies.

It would also be nice to have some of the actors from TV sereis showing up on DVD to give their 2 cents. Shows like X-Files or Buffy or Star Trek the Orginal series and TNG.

Master Gandhi · 12-08-2002, 07:01 AM

Living:
- Bill Murray should comment on any one of his movies (except "Osmosis Jones" or "Larger than Life").
- Jack Nicholson would be great to hear giving off-the-cuff remarks.
- Gene Wilder.
- Edward Norton on "American History X"
- Bill Cosby could joke his way through a recording session.
- Anthony Hopkins on one of his Hannibal movies (or anything else for that matter).
- David Lynch.
- Christopher Reeve on the "Superman" films.
- Jack Black.
- Adam Sandler on "Punch Drunk Love" (too early to ask for?)
- Eddie Murphy.
- Marlon Brando!

Passed on:
- Alfred Hitchcock
- Charlie Chaplin
- Billy Wilder
- Orson Welles
- Chris Farley
- Walt Disney
- Chuck Jones
- Jack Lemmon
- Marilyn Monroe
- Frank Capra
- Vincent Price
- Ed Wood
- Judy Garland
- Cecil B. DeMille
And the list could go on for centuries if I let it...

scarredgod · 12-08-2002, 08:13 AM

-David Lynch on anything...

-Ed Wood on Tim Burton's "Ed Wood" and also "Plan 9 From Outer Space"...

-John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd on "Neighbors" (what can i say, i love it)...

-Phillip Ridley on "The Reflecting Skin" and "The Passion Of Darkly Noon"...

-Crispin Glover on anything...

-a reunion of the cast members or the director of "Over The Edge"...

-E Elias Merhige on "Begotten"...

-Don Knotts on "The Ghost And Mr Chicken" or anything really...

thats off the top of my head for right now.

Riedenschneider · 12-08-2002, 09:45 AM

Rudolph Valentino on The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, hehe...

wahlers · 12-08-2002, 03:37 PM

Call me crazy, but I would love to hear Mike Judge commentary on the Beavis and Butt-Head movie (as Beavis and Butt-Head)...

That could be funnier than the movie was.

JeffHanawalt · 12-08-2002, 04:02 PM

My first vote would be Scorcese, De Niro and Pesci doing a
group commentary for RAGING BULL and/or GOODFELLAS.

Another wish I have would be to hear Al Pacino talk about
some of his jobs (DOG DAY AFTERNOON, THE GODFATHER
films, ...AND JUSTICE FOR ALL, etc)

Hey Master Gandhi, Anthony Hopkins talks on the Criterion
edition of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and he is entertaining.

LBPound23 · 12-08-2002, 04:36 PM

Bill Murray would be at the top of the list.

XXBigbeeXX · 12-08-2002, 04:58 PM

Sam Peckinpah on any / all of his films.
Top choices would be The Wild Bunch, Straw Dogs and The Getaway. -- BTW does anybody know the status of Convoy on DVD???

Other Dream Commentaries:
Warren Beatty and Buck Henry on Heaven Can Wait
Dustin Hoffman and Mike Nichols / Elaine May on The Graduate
Jimmy Stewart and Frank Capra on It's A Wonderful Life
Peter Sellers and Hal Ashby on Being There
Hoffman, Cruise and Levinson on Rain Man
Bill Murray / Harold Ramis / Ivan Reitman on Stripes
Murray, Knight, Ramis, Dangerfield and Chase on Caddyshack
Ramis, Chase, Levy, Michael-Hall and Candy on Vacation

And How about: Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock and Charlie Chaplin doing a commentary track on Fight Club -- Give them one viewing and record on the second!

Monterey Jack · 12-08-2002, 06:27 PM

It would have been great to have Hitchcock's thoughts on some of his greatest films (Vertigo, North By Northwest, Psycho). Also, it's a shame that Chuck Jones never got around to doing commentaries forhis classic Looney Toons shorts.

I'd love to have Don Bluth and Gary Goldman do a commentary for The Secret Of NIMH.

DrDetroit · 12-08-2002, 06:42 PM

I'd like one with the principal cast of "Triumph of the Will", moderated by Riefenstahl. Now THAT would be something.

AnonomusBob15 · 12-08-2002, 10:49 PM

Kubrick/Nicholson on Shining. I would love that.

DiCaprio/Wahlberg/Madio/Mcgaw/Kalvert on Basketball Diaries. I would LOVE to hear all their thoughts on the movie.

Bale/Harron on American Psycho

DeNiro/Pacino/Mann on Heat. Dear god........

Clooney/Wahlberg/Cube/Jonze/Russell on Three Kings.

I would kill for those commentaries.

mtcarmel00 · 12-08-2002, 11:10 PM

I'd love to hear my uncle do a commentary for the 1985 Peter O'Toole movie "Creator"

My uncle was a background doctor at O'Toole's character's lab.

EM3 · 12-09-2002, 02:10 AM

Sergio Leone commentaries!

The Mobius · 12-09-2002, 02:19 AM

Stanley Kubrick, especially on The Shining, A Clockwork Orange, 2001. (just cos they're my faves)

And in the living category, James Earl Jones on the Star Wars trilogy.
And if the principle actors don't do a commentary for Star Wars, I'll be peeved cos we're being kept waiting so that the DVDs can be "done properly".

You're right. Somehow that must have slipped my mind. Well, in that case, how about some Jodie Foster commentary?

She's on the Silence of the Lambs one too, isn't she? She did one for Contact also.

Rogue · 12-09-2002, 07:38 PM

Hitchcock on Vertigo and Rear Window
Spielberg, H. Ford, and Lucas on Raiders of the Lost Ark
Welles on Touch of Evil and Citizen Kane

Thank you, Dr. I realized that, which is why I gave that sly wink at the end...I should really check out that commentary, though.

DrDetroit · 12-09-2002, 08:34 PM

Oh, ok... I thought you were, but then I was like.. maybe.? OK, that's sorted out.

I want to hear it too.

caligulathegod · 12-09-2002, 10:53 PM

Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungeon on Sid and Nancy.

Droogie #11 · 12-10-2002, 12:21 AM

Stanley Kubrick and Sir Alec Guiness (R.I.P.).

JayPea · 12-10-2002, 01:54 AM

Chalk up another wish for a Stanley Kubrick commentary track. *sigh* Man, just hearing this cinematic God speak is a transcendent experience on its own (since it is SO rare to hear that quiet, intimidating, slightly gruff, New York accented voice, famous for demanding hundreds of takes and for chastising Shelley Duvall). I treasure The Shining DVD greatly not only because The Shining is my favourite Kubrick film, but also because of the wonderful Vivian Kubrick documentary: The Making of The Shining (a one of a kind documentary). It is truly amazing and surreal to see this man at work. But hearing him actually discuss his genius films (the themes, complex ideas, anecdotes, etc.) on a screen-specific audio commentary track is an absolute dream that I will forever yearn for. R.I.P. Stanley.
