I'd also suggest the DVD of "Blood Simple", but not for the reason you might think... Yeah, yeah Coen Brothers, tight crime drama, etc. etc.

The Coen Brothers apparently don't care for DVD extras, so they wrote the commentary track as a parody of film snob commentary tracks, and hired an actor to read it.

It's absolutely hilarious, and on a super serious film.

There's a line in 'Tropic Thunder' where RDJ's character says he never breaks character until they record the DVD commentary. In the DVD commentary he's still doing the Fred Williamson voice.
