Mel Brooks Collection [Blu-ray]: Mel Brooks: Movies & TV for $28.99 + free shipping
Blazing Saddles / High Anxiety / History of the World: Part I / Robin Hood: Men in Tights / Silent Movie / Spaceballs / To Be or Not to Be / Twelve Chairs / Young Frankenstein
Nice collection. Was totally worth the $30 or $40 I paid. It includes Silent Movie too, which a seriously underrated comedy. It doesn't include The Producers.
The transfers are pretty good, but sometimes the original stereo is better than the 5.1 conversion.
Here is a link to the blu-ray.com reviews. http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/The-Mel-Brooks-Collection-Blu-ray/44950/#Overview
I think I paid $50 for this a year or two ago and it was well worth the price.

Hail, Skroob!
Great collection, well worth the $30.
This is the lowest price it has been on Amazon by far. Any fan of Mel Brooks would be doing themselves a disservice by passing this up. It comes out to $3.22 per blu-ray!
Aw man!! Was super excited for a night of Men in Tights but they're BLU-RAY!
aaaarrrghhbllaaaa :(
In for one. What a deal.
@frizzrox04: You can get the set in DVD for $14 more here: http://www.amazon.com/Brooks-Collection-Blazing-Saddles-Frankenstein/dp/B000E6ESIK/
Not sure what your issue is with Blu-Ray though. I would have preferred if HD-DVD became the prevailing standard myself.. But that's old news now.. You can find basic Blu-Ray players for under $50 nowadays. And take $14 off that for what you'll save on this collection.
Then wait 5-10 years or so for the a new video format to roll out and become the next de facto standard and then slowly migrate to that.
Shame they have released one that includes The Producers and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. I'll keep holding out for the impossible dream.
It says movies & tv, but it doesn't include Get Smart.
I was going to get this until I realized the Aspect Ratio is 1.33:1, i.e. Full Screen. Full screen on Blu-Ray, no way. The widescreen version is available at http://www.amazon.com/The-Mel-Brooks-Collection-Blu-ray/dp/B002PHI2N8/ but "not-on-sale".
@grezes71: There is a thread in the Amazon forums for this set that tackles this issue. It looks like they are all widescreen. http://www.amazon.com/aspect-ratio-Could-possible/forum/Fx2WA00WKXITEE4/Tx3TOA7A53XJHIG/1/ref=cm_cd_dp_ef_tft_tp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=B007LNBS2I
Does anybody know when this deal is going to end? I really(really really) want to buy it but don't get paid till thursday.
