That's a really good idea, though I'd double dip quite a bit if that happened. I actually watched Roadhouse twice in a row because of the commentary. One time without and one time with.

Re: Who Do You Want to Hear a Commentary From and On What Film?
Now that there has been time to reflect, I think these would be fascinating:
Elizabeth Berkley and Paul Verhoeven on SHOWGIRLS.
Michael Cimino on HEAVEN'S GATE
Jerry Jameson on RAISE THE TITANIC
Jan DeBont on SPEED 2
Martin Brest on GIGLI (actually, maybe not)
Peter Hyams on A SOUND OF THUNDER
Elaine May on ISHTAR
Kevin Costner on THE POSTMAN
Jeremiah Chechik on THE AVENGERS
Stewart Raffill on MAC AND ME
Tommy Wiseau on THE ROOM
. . . and, when commentaries are finally recordable from beyond the grave:
Terence Young on INCHON
Richard Fleischer on MILLION DOLLAR MYSTERY
Otto Preminger on SKIDOO
Elizabeth Berkley and Paul Verhoeven on SHOWGIRLS.
Michael Cimino on HEAVEN'S GATE
Jerry Jameson on RAISE THE TITANIC
Jan DeBont on SPEED 2
Martin Brest on GIGLI (actually, maybe not)
Peter Hyams on A SOUND OF THUNDER
Elaine May on ISHTAR
Kevin Costner on THE POSTMAN
Jeremiah Chechik on THE AVENGERS
Stewart Raffill on MAC AND ME

I think a cool commentary would be one on a bio-pic from the real life person the movie is about. They did this on The Monkees bio-pic "Daydream Believers" with individual commentaries from Davy Jones, Peter Tork & Micky Dolenz. I don't know if it's been done on any other movies but I enjoy that, get the real story from the real people and find out what was changed and whatnot.

Lynch on Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr. and Lost Highway (or just about anything)

I am glad he was able to provide a commentary on Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

Re: Who Do You Want to Hear a Commentary From and On What Film?
I really wish John Hughes had done more commentaries. The only one I know that he did was the first release of Ferris Bueller (that was later removed).
EDIT: Also, I know there is a Criterion version of Head coming out soon with some kind of special features. It would be great if ANY of the Monkees did a commentary for it. It would be flat out GOLD if all of them did a group commentary. But the chances of that happening are pretty much ZERO.

Lacey Chabert, Amanda Seyfried, and Rachel McAdams on Mean Girls (2 tracks: one as themselves, the other in character) I would add Lindsay Lohan, but with all the mess she's in, she'd probably ruin the experience.

Joe Bob Briggs on Ms. 45
Peter Weir and Anne Louise Lambert on Picnic at Hanging Rock
Paul Verhoeven, Elizabeth Berkley, and Gina Gershon on Showgirls

Jennifer Love Hewitt on Can't Hardly Wait
Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Gellar on I Know What You Did Last Summer
John Carpenter and Kurt Russell on Escape From L.A.
John Carpenter on Prince of Darkness
John Carpenter and Roddy Piper on They Live (I know this track already exists, but as it was never released in R1, I don't have it.)
Pamela Springsteen and Renee Estevez on Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers and Springsteen on Sleepaway Camp 3: Teenage Wasteland
Mira Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow on Romy and Michele's High School Reunion (themselves and in character)

Stan Lee and Bruce Campbell on Spider-Man. Sure, they had bit parts, but their commentary would be far more entertaining and informative than the Raimi/Dunst contribution.
From beyond the grave: Cast commentary on It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World.

Ouch!
Damn, that hurt!
