The Mel Brooks Collection [DVD]

One star for arriving earlier than stated, one star for all 7 movies delivered undamaged package, No star because I cannot watch them in USA, No star because it is not written or stated anywhere they mamay not play in the USA. And No star because of the disappointed family member that I gave them to as a gift. 2 out of 5 stars...no I won’t order anything else here. However if I could have watched them it would of been 5/5

It was zoned for use out of USA and not stated on the description.I had to send it back because I couldn’t play it and they did not refund or pay for shipping back.I was very disappointed

Only one that should be the star of this is blazing saddles

Be careful with this product, the DVDs don't work in USA.

If you want some comic relief from the serious things in life there's nothing better than a Mel Brooks film. Or several. Here you get seven of them in one box. What's not to like? Okay, the selection doesn't include two of his best efforts (Blazing Saddles and The Producers), but hey, those are easy got if you don't own them already. What is included are:~~~ Young Frankenstein (absolutely fabulous, a laugh riot, I don't know who I like best - Madeline Kahn or Gene Wilder or Marty Feldman)~~~ High Anxiety (more Madeline Kahn, and you can never have too much of her, right?)~~~The Twelve Chairs (my own particular favourite, set in Russia and based on an original story from Russia)~~~ Silent Movie (which, interestingly comes with subtitles...? Or so it says on the box)~~~ Life Stinks (another take on rich man tries to live on the streets for a month)~~~ To Be or Not To Be (Shakespeare and actors and affairs and invasion all served up a la Mel Brooks)~~~ History of the World: Part One (history as you've never been taught it before).They're all highly enjoyable, it's probably a matter of personal taste which ones you prefer. All DVDs have English subtitles for those who may need them, some also various other language subtitles and audio tracks. Young Frankenstein also comes with quite a few extra features: Outtakes, Bloopers & Deleted Scenes, Commentary with Mel Brooks, 36 min Documentary "Making FrankenSense of Young Frankenstein" with Behind-the-Scenes Footage and Cast and Crew Interviews, Trailers & TV Spots, Mexican Interviews. The others come without bonus material. Nice collection, nicely presented. Every film comes on its own DVD and each DVD in a separare slim case. Full marks all round.

The box set arrived just as I was leaving the house so the time away was shortened so I could get home to play one film I was waiting to see. I watched The History of The World and I wanted to watch it again and again. There are other films in the set which I already have but I have a friend who is a big Mel Brooks Fan so they wont be wasted. It is brilliant and Mel Brooks is a comic genius

Some lesser known Mel Brooks stuff in box. Still need to buy others. Think the films contained in box set should be listed on item description!

Arrived in great condition, and very quickly. Good selection of movies.

It arrived very quickly and was the perfect present for my dad who has been a fan for a while but hadn't seen a couple of the titles in this collection. Kept him and mum chuckling through Christmas.
