Coppola's commentary is superlative, as far as I'm concerned. Bonus material like director commentary is what drives me to DVDs anyway, versus claims of enhanced video or audio quality. In the genre of director's commentary I've heard none better than that provided by FFC on these discs.

The deleted scenes make the DVD an incredible value, too. I also especially love the FFC Notebook section, where we get to see his working copy of the novel, with all the handwritten notes in various ink colors.

I think the DVD set is awesome, and it's what drove me to get a DVD player in the first place. What was the point in having the technology if my favorite cinematic story wasn't available?

The main character, it's a guy just like me. I uh -- I wouldn't even have to act -- just be myself.
