Clerks

One of the funniest movies ever made has the distinction of being one of the best DVDS I've ever seen, too.

The commentary track (by, get this: Kevin Smith, producer Scott Mosier, Brendan O'Halloran, Jason Mewes, Walt Flanagan and some writer from the late, very much missed Film Threat magazine) is as good and entertaining as the movie itself.

There are about a dozen cut scenes presented here, none of which I've seen before. These are different than the ones you can download on the web. They also present the infamous alternate ending, in which Dante is shot by an unseen burglar. There is also, of course, trailers.

The picture and sound are flawless, although widescreen seems kinda redundant for a movie shot for $27,000 on 16mm cameras.
