I basically never do. Maybe I'll watch the trailer or something on a movie every once in a while, but I almost never watch behind the scenes or interviews or anything.
Do you watch DVD special features?
If its a film I like, most of the films I own, then I will watch the special features. I love to watch making of's, deleted scenes and similer things. I also rather like Audio Commentary, especially the Red Dwarf commentary (British Sci-Fi Comedy) which has the principal cast hanging out and telling production stories.
Actually, I do watch everything on the DVD (other than watching with the commentary).
Otherwise, what's the point of buying / renting a DVD?
I watch them a lot less often than I should, because I almost always enjoy them when I do. Same goes for "special edition" features in video games.
only if I really like a film, will usually watch the making of stuff.
Though there are rare gems of audio commentaries, my favourite was watching 'This is Spinal Tap' with the audio commentary because it is done in character so it added a whole layer of jokes, reflections and insights (obviously all fictional) that was just as hilarious as the film itself.
" only if I really like a film, will usually watch the making of stuff.Holy shit yeah Spinal Tap with commentary turns the funny up to 11. I wish Netflix streamed those kinds of features...though I can't really expect them to do all that just so I can have audio commentary.

I only really watch the special features for movies that I really enjoy, or are made in a special way (like Pixar animation). I hate watching deleted scenes because they generally suck, which is generally why they were deleted from the movie.
I do have to give up the best "special features" section to Lord of the Rings because it's fucking amazing.
