The other three commentaries are all great and worth listening to. As they are technical in nature (Story, Picture and Sound), just pick whichever one interests you the most.

It's amazing how much you can learn from a commentary. Makes you feel like you know the person a little better. I never knew Fincher said the word "fuck" so much until now. Fincher says the word "fuck" more than I do!
Freeman was really interesting as usual, too.
I feel like Fincher needs to pick up the pace and do more movies. Same with Quentin Tarantino. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe they need the time.
Scorcese/De Niro really kick Fincher/Pitt and Tarantino/Thurman's ass in terms of quantity. Luckily all three duos have amazing quality. But I wish the bottom two duos could do more and still keep the same quality.
I'll probably watch the second commentary on the list for Se7en this weekend. Good stuff!

If you were satisfied with Panic Room, more power to ya.
The ratio seems off. Scorsese may have had a head start, but he also pulled great movies out of his ass left and right at a slightly faster pace, didn't he? He had his gaps too, but they seemed harder to recognize.
It's all love though, no matter how you look at it. I love Fincher and Tarantino and Martin.

I watched Emilio Fernandez's glorious masterpeice, La Perla (1947) this morning. I can't recommend it highly enough. I'm glad I was finally able to find a decent copy of this film while vacationing in Mexico as it is unavailable in the States.

Astrochimp, I saw The Big Lebowski as the first film yesterday aswell! Never seen it before. Bought ut as the Coen boxset in the UK with some gift certs. I cannot believe how much I love film and have never seen it. I can now see that alot of people see it as one of the most quoteable films ever.

Damn, still to see my first yet...Went to see Narnia but it was a mad house at the theatre and the credit card ticket machines were all out of order and there was one person selling tickets. So just went home and decided to do a Scrubs marathon.
