Can someone list what DVDs have commentary tracks, especially those that are to good quality DVDs. I already have The Fashionistas and Space Nuts, by the way.
I think most of the VCA Passolini DVDs have commentaries, and most of htem are a lot of fun.
A good portion of the bigger Wicked DVDs up until earlier this year had commentaries. The Jonathan Morgan / Serenity commentaries were always a lot of fun, and the commentary between Devinn Lane and Julia Ann in Beautiful / Nasty is a lot of fun as well.
John Stagliano has video commentaries on a few of his movies, but the only one I can think of right now is Face Dance 1 (it's also repeated on Face Dance 2). IIRC, he also has a commentary track for Adventures of Buttman ...
Nic Steele has commentary tracks on Rawhide and Dinner Party 3. They're both okay, but nothing too special.
Nic Andrews almost always has a commentary track for his movies, and he normally brings several cast and crew members in so there's always something happening. Nic's movies have some of the best commentary tracks out there for this reason.
Digital Playground's big releases (like the foremerly mentioned Nic Andrews as well as Robbie D.) normally have nicely done commentary tracks.
I-Candy's classic releases often had a commentary of people from the golden age of porn discussing the times, the making of the movie, etc. They're normally excellent!
I think Exhausted and WADD, the two John Holmes biographies, both had commentaries, but I'm not positive.
That's it that hits my head right now.

Having looked into this a little, it looks like Commentaries are the devine home of couples porn. Now I'm no prude, but 99.9% of this stuff has condom use and is about 90mins in length. I was disappointed somewhat by Space Nuts becuase it was so tame. Any pointers?
Check Passolini's stuff. It's VCA but he does a good job of pushing the limits and is normally a lot of fun! I'm thinking Elegant Angel might have a commentary track or two as well, but I'm not positive. The Evil Angel ones are some of my favorites, and I'm really kinda sad that John doesn't do them anymore. They were John sitting and watching the movie. He'd fast forward to parts he liked or that would strike a memory, and then talk about it. It's a great way to do things, and something I wish a few more directors would do.
Sin City had a couple movies with commentaries by Michael Raven. Evolution hits my head, but can't think of others.

fashionistas has a pretty fun and informative commentary, by john stagliana, tricia deveraux, taylor st claire and belladonna, the commentary runs for the entire movie except for two breaks during sex scenes of the movie
Oh gosh, talk about a straight line .... I'm trying to stick to my new year's resolution of limiting my number of casual insults regarding the intelligence and verbal fortitude of today's average gonzo director .... let's just say, go back and listen to their side of the interviews they do with actresses and reconsider the concept of two hours worth of such snappy patter ... though the ones that would doubtless sound like a homage to Jack Nicholson's slide-show narration in CARNAL KNOWLEDGE might be fascinating case-studies ....
Damn, another resolution broken already. Why must this Internet be such an enabler?
Which I guess is some of why I like Stagliano's video commentaries. Twenty minutes or so of commentary where you can tell that the director loves his work almost as much as his lovely wife who drags him off in the middle of it for some loving!

Agreed! Stag's commentaries are wonderful -- and a great insight into the singular mind that launched 21st century porn as we know it ... more commentaries (and minds) like his, please ...
The Fashionistas commentary is great. But I have talked about TSC enough for one day.
I did actually just watch Desiree Cousteau's Pretty Peaches 1 extra on the Pretty Peaches 2 DVD. Jim Holliday does a great commentary over it, explaining why an 80 minute movie has been edited down to 19 minutes. (we lost a wealth of knowledge when he passed away)
Those are the only two commentaries I think I have listened to on porno DVDs.
