I only watch commentary on movies I've seen enough that I don't need to be able to hear the dialogue to know what they're saying. I've even watched The Nightmare Before Christmas with Danny Elfman's commentary about the music on.

The commentary on Ghostbusters is pretty good. And yes, the Spinal Tap commentary is amazing. In fact, they even have amazing extra footage - almost 2 more movies' worth (I think it's something like 3+ hours of extra footage). And I think that was just one of the deluxe editions. I think I saw a 3-disc version once (though that may have included The Return of Spinal Tap, and/or I'm making that up).

Thanks for the heads on the commentary on Spinal Tap. I didn't know.

Best commentary I've heard is the one on the original Batman Movie with Adam West and Burt Ward. It's hilarious!

I watched The Queen (2006) last night. I didn't realize it would be all about Princess Die.

I watched The kids are alright. It was pretty good. I love Mark Ruffalo and Juliane Moore, that was the main reason I rented it.

I had this crazy urge to watch The Jerk (1978, with Steve Martin) on Boxing Day, so I managed to queue it up on my cable on-demand thingie. I saw it a zillion times back in the day and it's still funny, although it ended more abruptly than I remembered. It was a treat though.

Delicatessen - Love love love this movie, watched maybe the 20th time I have watched it

Them - By the numbers "horror" it had it's moments but all in all it was a snooze fest.

I finally saw Scott Pilgrim. I just had to see the vegan police. I thought it was kind of drawn out and not what I expected. A fun movie, nonetheless.

Watched 'The Fall' last night and I wanted to super-highly recommend it. So good! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460791/

I love the Fall!

I just saw Easy A and thought it was cute. Not quite Mean Girls caliber, but very cute and funny.

I watched The Lives of Others the other night and liked it. I think I need to watch it again as I kind of watched it piecemeal, in like three forty-minute segments because I kept doing stuff and maybe the story lost some of the momentum broken up like that. Anyway, it seems good but I should probably watch it uninterrupted next time.

Oh! Sweet! I am terribly under-cultured and I want to watch one movie a week this year. I watched My Neighbour Totoro yesterday, and now I`m out of ideas so I`mma mooch of the PPK`s tastes.

I finally caved and watched Food, Inc. last night. Whyyyy?? None of it was news to me and I had to close my eyes for half of it.

I saw Despicable Me a couple of weeks ago, loved it. I saw Megamind last week, it was so funny.

And now I'm on a Disney kick.

"Watching" Alien right now (it's on, I'm clearly paying close attention), for the first time. I'm sure it would be terrifying and gripping, etc., if I were younger and didn't already pretty much know what's going to happen. But it's interesting seeing all these actors in their prime, though it's kinda weird hearing John Hurt's grizzled old man voice coming from a kinda-hot young(ish) guy.

Pay attention! That is one of my favorite movies of all time! It made me scared of spaghetti because of the chest buster scene. But I'm past that now.

I really loved it! I think I watched it 2 or 3 times through when I rented it. But yeah I think you need to see it uninterrupted to get the full effect.

Chiming in to say that I too loved The Lives of Others (assuming it's the German one whose title translates to that). I watch way too few movies and way too many of them are mediocre at best. I do love bad movies, but only if they're good bad movies. A lot of what I watch is science fiction. I watched 47 films (+ a few shorts) last year and my goal is to top that this year.

Best movies I watched 2010 in no particular order:
Ritana (Returner)
Appleseed (2004 version)
Moon
Primer
Brazil (not the first time)

Worst movies:
Blood Tide
Groundhog Day
