That's my favourite commentary of all time!
I really like all 3 Oldboy ones, although I was a little surprised at how condescending Choi Min-Sik and Yu Ji-Tae are towards Kang Hye-Jeong, the girl who plays Mido. Literally the whole way through, they are really dismissive of everything she says! There's a point when Min-Sik is talking about how he wanted the character to be a nice guy at heart, not a gangster, and Hye-Jeong says something like "but some gangsters are nice people too!" and Ji-Tae just says "shut up". Most of the other times when they talk to her, it just stuff like "oh, you look really pretty in that shot". Min-Sik also spends much of the commentary in fits of laughter. It's still fascinating to listen to, though.....
The Armageddon commentary is also excellent, although I imagine most of you hate that film! Affleck says some hilarious shit on his commentary, there is also one by some NASA dude who talks about how most of the ideas in the movie are bogus. Finally, even the Baymeister comes out with a funny, when he's talking about how worried they were during filming: "We thought it was gonna suck The Big One". I still use that line from time to time....
The commentary on Spaced series 1 & 2 is also hilarious - ask Fried Gold, he'll tell ya!
