the arthur cohn collection had dvd's from several different studios probably more than any other.
|
Cool, I'll have to get that
|
And both of the Warner Bros. Kubrick sets had Dr. Strangelove (Columbia). It's not really rare at all.
|
Yay! To Be Or Not To Be finally.
|
This is great news! I hope these have some great special features, especially History of the World Part 1 (Still waiting for Part 2 with Hitler on Ice!). I'd gladly replace my Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein to get new versions of the rest of them. I've been waiting for a new version of History since I got my dvd player. Couldn't see shelling out for a dvd since I had the vhs and it didn't have anything special on it. Thanks to the OP for the news!
|
Finally RHMIT! :up: Lets hope this is available on its own.
|
I actually have none of these titles, so bring on the box!
|
Never thought I'd be excited over men in tights but here I am!
|
Does anyone know if this is the barebones History of the World? I only ask because I vaguely remember hearing talk of a special edition in the works.

$60-$70 is a steal for this set. Maybe if you only wanted one or two of the DVDs it wouldn't be worth it, but I'm a fan of Brooks and want them all. I've already sold History of the World and Young Frankenstein on Half.com and made $20 and my auction for The Twelve Chairs is going really well since that one is currently out of print so I may not end up having to spend anything for this set. :)

new editions of History of the World Part I, Robin Hood Men in Tights and Young Frankenstein I hope all the extras stay with Young Frankenstein, and its the two disc blazing saddles. |
I think the SE of BS is a single disc, unless it was 2 discs in other regions. Anyway, it's 8 discs, so it has to be a single disc.
I wonder why they even bothered to include BS. I would think that anyone who is a big enough fan of Brooks to purchase this would have already bought the SE, which has been out for a year and a half. It's not as if this set includes every movie he's made. They could have probably charged just as much for the set without having to give a portion to Warner. |
Although I already have YF, BS and HOTW - Pt. 1, I'll still pick up the box set. It's worth it to me to have all the other titles.

This is now available for pre-order from DDD:
http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=FXD026749 $73.19 is a decent price, but I think it will drop rather quickly after it comes out, so I'm holding out for now. |
After buying the 15-disc Hitchcock Collection for about $85, getting an 8-disc Brooks Collection for $73 doesn't seem that appealing.
|
Has anyone caught word on whether RH:MIT will be offered up alone? Here's hoping!

I don't own any of these (I should...), so this is a must purchase for me.
|
I only own Blazing Saddles, so I will definately be buying this boxset.

I don't have any of these DVDs either, but I will in April!
I ordered the set from bn.com (Barnes & Noble) for $59.48 + tax, using a 15% off coupon for B&N members -- 4MZL9XA -- (the coupon expires at 2:59 a.m. ET Tuesday.) |
From dvdtimes.co.uk:
The Mel Brooks Collection in April Fox Home Entertainment have announced the Region 1 DVD release of The Mel Brooks Collection for 4th April 2006 priced at $99.98 SRP. This eight-disc collection comprises of eight Mel Brooks films including Blazing Saddles, on loan from Warner Brothers in its Special Edition format. Early specs do not indicate much in the way of special features… Blazing Saddles -Commentary by Mel Brooks, Back in the Saddle, Segments from Intimate Portrait: Madeline Kahn, & TV Pilot: Black Bart High Anxiety -Trailers History of the World Part I -Trailer Robin Hood Men in Tights -HBO Special, Trailers Silent Movie -Trailers To Be or Not to Be -Featurette, Profiles, Trailer Twelve Chairs -Trailers Young Frankenstein -Mel Brooks Commentary, 36 minute documentary: "Making Frankensense of Young Frankenstein" out takes/bloopers & deleted scenes, Trailers, TV Spots, Mexican Interviews with Leachman, Feldman and Wilder, Production Stills, and Theatrical Trailer. http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/protectedi...collection.jpg http://www.dvdtimes.co.uk/content.php?contentid=60504 I'm very dissappointed by this release. I can't believe that the only supplemental features in most of them are only trailers. Fox is now becoming the new Universal when it comes to DVD releases. |
Wow, that is pretty bare. Still, not bad for 8 hilarious and witty movies. The boxart is pretty good too.
