Deleted scenes\bloopers\outtakes are usually the only extras I bother to check out.

I love a good commentary but I'm very picky about them. The "oh....I remember this scene" type doesn't do it for me at all.

I like a great deal of info and behind the scenes stuff. The more people in it the better, most of the time.

Inserts.

Actually, when I get a chance to listen to the commentaries I really enjoy them.

Commentaries, although sometimes a strong featurette is preferential.

For my favorite movies, definitely commentaries ( I can't wait for Valley Girl, which will have 2 or 3, I believe ).

All others, normally deleted scenes, documentaries, and trailers

re-release that I haven't bought yet and includes DTS

I like deleted scenes...sometimes I think they suck and sometimes I wonder why they didn't included them in the DVD release as a director's cut!

Another for commentaries, and documentaries that are not simply puff pieces.

Ditto. DVDs like Superman, Ben Hur, The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca and another with those kind of documentaries. I found that kind of extra to be the most satisfying and rewarding features.

The more time goes on I find myself skipping alot of the "special features".

The only ones worth a damn are the deleted scenes and alternate ending to me.
I like to see the scenes that coulda, shoulda or might have been only if.............

Drunken commentaries. I wish more movies would have commentaries like the one on Cannibal: The Musical and Dogma, where they spend most of their time cracking jokes and pointing out the screw ups in the movie.

Every Ben Affleck movie should have a commentary like this. His ripping of Chasing Amy and Dogma would have been perfect for Pearl Harbor and Armageddon.

The Matrix has a DVD-ROM feature that lets you participate in an online chat with the Wachowski brothers while watching the movie. Very cool, but they haven't done a chat like that in almost a year.
