Classic movie. Perfect Commentary Track.
It makes you wish that John Hughes did more commentaries. John is pretty awesome on this track, he's by himself but unlike other solo commentarians he never shuts up. He covers every aspect of the film from all the auditions, to the script and even picking the great music for the soundtrack which is actually interesting because he's a music fan and not some academic.
The best thing about John Hughes is that he has more freedom to talk about whatever he wants to because no one else is around. Which makes for some great stories. He tells a really sad story about Mia Sara (the girl in the movie) having a huge crush on Matthew Broderick. Apparently Matthew never recognized it because he was too busy dating Jennifer Grey. So there is a great moment where Mattew and Mia kiss, at the end, and John Hughes says, "There! You can see it in her eyes she wanted him but he never cared." ...Young Love so sad.
A perfect mix of everything you want in a commentary. A rare gem.
