Though I'm very interested in listening to audio commentary tracks I don't have much free time. So when I get a chance to relax I often opt for watching another film instead of rewatching the same film with the AC. If it's a film I've seen a lot, sometimes I'll let it play with the AC while I work, mostly listening as opposed to watching. Occasionally I will rewatch something over and over, listening to multiple AC's in a row (typically over a few days) which is something I did with Criterion's
SILENCE OF THE LAMBS release (and for non-Criterion titles
NOBODY and
DAWN OF THE DEAD and it's multiple versions and AC's). But overall, I'd estimate that I check out the audio commentaries for about 4-5 out of 10 films.
