I watch special features like a rabid beast. Love 'em. I've watched all the special features on all three LOTR extended edition multi-disk tomes.
The single best director's commentary I've ever heard, though, was on the film Primer, a brilliant indie film made on a budget of $7000, which totally swept Sundance a couple years ago. Guy had no idea the technical side of making a movie, and learned as he went along. This movie is 78 minutes long, and they shot a grand total of 80 minutes of film, because they had no money for extra film. He made all the special effects, music, etc on his home computer. Edited it on his home computer (sometimes cutting dubbed voices apart syllable by syllable to match on-film mouths, to compensate for his not knowing how to properly record audio). Amazing documentation of guerilla filmmaking.
