Schindler's List- Himmler/Hitler
General Idi amen dada- General Idi amen dada
The killing Fields- Pol Pot
Danton- Robespierre

Just to find out what the heck these monsters where thinking of when they did these things

The Crow - Brandon Lee
Citizen Kane - Orson Welles
Rules of Attraction - Carrot Top (Oh wait!)

BTW, Criterion tried to make this dream come true for their very first laserdisc release (and the first ever commentary track) in 1984. Although people including Roger Ebert tried to convince Welles, he refused, as he thought people focused too much on that film and ignored others he had done.

Re: Your Dream Commentaries
 

Heck yeah!

others:

The Good,The Bad,and The Ugly-Eastwood/Wallach
Satyricon-Fellini
The Warriors-Walter Hill
Plan 9 from Outer Space-Ed Wood
Bruce Lee on any of his movies
Ai no corrida-Oshima
Gummo-(I'd love to hear anyone do a commentary for this)

Red Scorpion - Emmett Walsh, Dolph Lungren
Star Wars Originals - Ford, Lucus, Hamill
Scarface - DePalma, Pacino, Stone
Brotherhood of the Wolf - an english track

Leon - Jean Reno and Natalie Portman
Killer- CYF and Danny Lee
Angels with Dirty Faces- James Cagney and Pat O'Brien
Willy Wonka-Gene Wilder
Band of Brothers Cast Commentary on every episode
Saving Private Ryan-Steve Spielberg

Nice! I might throw in a few more cast members or maybe on a sperate track. Here's my choices:

South Park: BL&U - Drunken Commentary(Matt Stone & Trey Parker)
South Park Season 2 - Commentary on episodes by above.
Office Space - Mike Judge, Stephen Root, & Ron Livingston
Almost any Jim Carrey Movie - Jim Carrey
Big Lebowski - Bridges, Goodman, Buciemi, and Coen Brothers.

South Park - Season 2 and BLU (Stone & Parker, maybe a character commentary as well)
Office Space (Judge, maybe a couple of actors)
Big Lebowski (Coen Bros, Bridges)
Any other Coen Bros film (Coen Bros...doing a serious commentary)
Any Kubrick film (Kubrick, but given that's not possible, I'd love to hear from some film scholars/critics)
Any Hitchcock film (see above, but replace Kubrick with Hitchcock)
Any Spielberg film (Spielberg)

But really, I'd like Ebert to quit his job as a reviewer and become a full-time DVD commentator, as his commentaries on Citizen Kane and Casablanca are two of the best I've ever heard (I have yet to listen to the Dark City track).

MEL GIBSON: We tried to get this scene as realistic as possible.
JESUS CHRIST: Yeah, right. I NEVER looked that fat.

:lol:

For me, I'd think it'd be a hoot and a half to hear a Spike Lee commentary on Birth of a Nation.

The Decalogue:

Hmmm, I vote the same as I did ...

I only have one dream commentary, because I only really listen to Simpson commentaries. I'm hoping that Conan O'Brien does commentary for the Season 4 episodes he produced.

or Alex Proyas!!


Another vote here for a 'Thin Red Line' commentary with director and cast/cameo members commentary.

Salo - Pasollini with cast!

The Exorcist - Linda Blair's Grandmother!

A night at the Opera -- Harpo Marx
