Stephen Rebello's The Making of Psycho. Heck, they're making the movie out of it right now.

Every David Fincher commentary is a master class in filmmaking. He and Robert Towne discuss Chinatown on its recent Blu-Ray release. Another great commentary is on the Panic Room special edition DVD where David Koepp and William Goldman discuss the film and Hollywood screenwriting in general.

Tarkovsky, Andrei (1989). Sculpting in Time.

Commentaries all the way. Even movies you don't like and directors you've never heard of. Listen to costume designers, editors, composers, and historians. Then watch all the featurettes. Hear the words from their own mouths: Tarantino interviewed by Tom Snyder: 1996 & 1997 Hitchcock interviewed by Tom Snyder: Part One Hollywood Reporter Roundtables. Watch award nominated producers, writers, actors/actresses, directors and more discuss various topics. Such as Peter Jackson, Tarantino, James Cameron, Lee Daniels, Jason Reitman, and Kathryn Bigelow discussing the hardest thing to film. (Yeah, it's great.) Another? Aaron Sorkin, David Lindsay-Abaire, John Wells, Michael Arndt, Simon Beaufoy, Todd Phillips shoot the breeze.
