Not much of a good deal, is it? Almost $100 for only 2 great movies (Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein), a couple okay ones (History of the World, High Anxiety) , and some crappy ones (the rest, except for The Twelve Chairs which I've never seen)? The only features available are for 2 of the worst selections.

Agreed, Blazing Saddles wasn't much of a favorite of mine. Maybe I saw it for the first time when I was too old. And I wouldn't mind picking up a copy of Twelve Chairs or High Anxiety if they were sold individually. Too bad. My guess is the packaging is a flip-type as well.Barmy wrote:Twelve Chairs is not that bad. Blazing Saddles? Overrated. Anyway I would be embarrassed to have this on my shelf.
Did anyone ever notice that High Anxiety is pretty much a Brian De Palma film?
