There's almost no other information about this collection, either here or at the Amazon listing: nothing about remastering, restoration, bonus features, or even how many discs there are in the set. (Please let it be one movie per disc!)

What I find most interesting about this release is the inclusion of Blazing Saddles! After the shenanigans HBO Max recently pulled about "contextualizing" their presentation of it, I was a little concerned that Blazing Saddles was going the way of Song of the South, never to be released on home video again. So I'm happy to see its presence in this set. I have the DVD, but would love to have a BD copy as well; but I don't have to tell you how difficult and/or expensive it is now that it's OOP.

I'm almost willing to spend the $55 just for the BD of Saddles, but the inclusion of other movies I'd be interested in but probably wouldn't go to the trouble of hunting down (like Wonka, Kelly's Heroes, President's Men and Every Which Way) makes it an even more tempting purchase.

Of course, any info anyone can provide about tech specs, bonus features, etc. would be welcome!
