Not such a fan of the Darko commentary, myself, since Gyllenhaal is, well, 20. My fave and nomination for best commentary is for The Limey-- I think the commentary is intended to tie into the themes of the film, actually. And Soderbergh just does incredibly informative commentaries in general.
There's something about a food that moves all by itself that gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Soderbergh -- bring me Traffic and Sex, Lies and Videotape -- two of my best of all time movies.
Have mixed feelings about commentaries and all the appurtenances of fandom, maybe because I'm new to the condition. On the one hand I lap it up, I want to know everything. On the other hand I want to be innocent of interpretation by others -- just want to watch it and experience it as it is, without being told where the seams are and what the recipe was. Just the way studying a novel or a poem at school can ruin it for you.
I can see my bank balance plunging further, but all in a good cause -- my season 6 DVDs have just arrived at the bookshop, all ready for me to flash my credit card. Wonder what extra goodies are on those.

OMG! I haven't watched the commentary yet. Is it good?
I mean, I watch the movie once a month or so.

It's amazing, PMM. They all sound completely stoned througout.

Hee! And they keep talking about how this or that was an 'improv' moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I haven't heard the Dude one, but my current favourite is Can't Hardly Wait, or whatever one had Seth Green and his English accent. It also had the effect of making a film I enjoyed seem like it'd have been even better, if the directors had gotten more of their way. Enough that I want to see other stuff they might do.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore
Can't Hardly Wait was Seth as the whitest white boy in the history of everything.
If there really is a movie where he has an English accent, I need to see it and then die, because everything after that would be a disappointment.
Seth Green. English accent. Guh.
