I agree, most extra features are little more than filler. I
don't care how they made the movie and considering that most
such features are all about that they are, for me, a complete
waste of time.
But there are a few bonus extras I really do like. And they
keep me hopeful. For example:
The ability to play Momento in chronological order (on the
special edition Momento DVD) is pretty cool.
The PBS interview with Robin Williams on the One Hour Photo
DVD is a solid extra.
The 2 disc Gangs Of New York DVD comes with a History Channel
documentary about the real gangs of New York.
