What are some movies with notable director's commentary? (leminal.space)

Notable can mean many things. Maybe it was high quality, insightful, and provided context for a more artistic scene. Maybe they teased a cut scene that would have radically shifted the tone of the movie. Maybe it was funny. Maybe the director absolutely hated what they produced and is only providing narration because of a contractual obligation and a lot of alcohol.

I am looking to hear about anything that stuck with you in some way.

A lot of people consume content online where director's commentary frequently isn't present but I imagine there are still a lot of people who are into this niche.

This is bugging the hell out of me because I can't remember what movie this was, but the commentary was basically the director ignoring the movie to comment on other movies that were more interesting.
