A comment on Internet Kills the Video Store. Parent comment

I'm a self-described cinemaphile, so I tend to purchase Blu-rays and DVDs of movies rather than streaming them. I've yet to see a streaming service that offers commentary tracks, alternate audio tracks (e.g., original mono mixes), "Making Of" featurettes, etc.

Do you know of any?

Not the parent comment, but thought I'd answer any ways. Despite lots of looking around, I too haven't been able to find a streaming offering that comes close to competing with a well constructed Blu-Ray release.

My collection is built largely thanks to Barnes and Nobles' 50% off Criterion sales.

In addition to being a cinemaphile, i'm also an audiophile; so the lack of Dolby 5.1 audio content being streamed for the majority of movies on Netflix basically makes blue-ray/DVD my only option if I want to make use of my expensive receiver + surround speaker setup.
