  Excellent commentary on Kurosawa, Mifune, their relationship, and the film itself.

  It's Tom Laughlin and his wife, sitting in your living room, conversing "with" you...directly. I was totally entralled with it.

  Very interesting...especially the "Billy Jack Goes to Washington" disc. His problems compare, exactly with those confronted by Frank Capra, when it was produced and shown to Beltway wags. Some things never change.

  Lauglin is the genuine non conformist...even today.

  I have also watched a number of the DVD commentaries...and started to watch a few before giving up on them when they failed to draw me in. I like it when the commentaries manage to bring along some additional insights and understanding for the movie. In some cases, they even manage to garner more respect for the director and how good the film really was. Following are a few that I appreciated for various reasons:

  *Nashville (Robert Altman narration)
  *Walkabout (classic movie and equally fascinating commentary traded off between Nicholas Roeg and Jenny Agutter that truly sheds some light on film-making and the vision behind it)
  *Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 version by Philip Kaufman...always enjoyed this flick, but didn't realize how very cool Kaufman was and how very *good* and well-crafted the film really is)
  *Cruel Intentions (yeah, probably not a great movie although it had an interesting bit of dark-humour behind it that was a wee bit sharper than your average Hollywood fare. The narration was actually pretty interesting and way entertaining, hilarious even...made me re-assess my opinion of the film at least a little bit and nearly sent me out to MAKE my own movie when realizing that this guy had never really made a movie and didn't seem to know what the heck he was even doing at the time)
  *Shadow of a Vampire (very interesting commentary from the director)

    Won't agree with you on that one. I'm a BIG fan of Boogie Nights and Paul Thomas Anderson, but figure he blew the commentary pretty badly. Sort of like a frat-boy sitting there and swearing away for 2.5 hours.
