I’m torn between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. But Teri Garr is in Young Frankenstein…..tough choice!
What's your favorite Mel Brooks movie?

I cannot choose between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. The Producers is a close third to those two.

Blazing Saddles is not only Brooks' best, it's the funniest movie ever made.
Prove me wrong.
Prove me wrong.
I love em’ all.
Tough, tough call.
Hmmmm.

Young Saddles!
Doh!

Depends on the day, but I believe my favorite is Young Frankenstein - if just for Garr, Kahn, and Leachman. "What knockers!!"

Just my opinion of most people's "top 3"...
Blazing Saddles - aged poorly on the PC front, but is still consistently funny, definitely has all the best jokes
Young Frankenstein - is good for a couple of watches, but is too concerned with its subject material to be a "great" comedy
Spaceballs - do not watch if you're over the age of 12

I can still remember the feeling of having watched Blazing Saddles the first time. The campfire scene was just so...
I worked at a music store owned by an older, non-humorous couple. Never saw them laugh or even smile. One day, they decided to go to a movie, and Blazing Saddles sounded up their alley. They came out of the theatre stunned. (Not literally true, but they talked about the experience as something they just weren't prepared for.)
Young Frankenstein is also in the top of my favorite movies.
But, then, we also had an earlier film, The Producers.
All three of these had my laugh muscles in knots. I wish I could laugh today as much as I did then.

How about "Young Saddles" and "Blazing Frankenstein?"
Off my head it’s Blazing saddles.
Two movies I can recommend that aren’t are UHF and
Transylvania 6-5000

Agreed. And in this order.
Blazing Saddles was good, The Producers was golden! Young Frankenstein, Leslie Nielsen make my gums bleed .

Yes, for better or for worse, "Young Frankenstein" is very faithful to what it's spoofing. The primary source of its plot is Universal's third "Frankenstein" film, 1939's "Son of Frankenstein."
"The Producers" has some great lines that done necessarily read funny, but are almost inexplicably hilarious, like "Ooh... I fell on my keys" and "I'm hysterical and I'm wet!" It's also arguably Brooks' least cinematic movie, while "Young Frankenstein" is his most cinematic. And I totes agree about "Spaceballs." I think it's built up a reservoir of affection over the years with "Star Wars" fans who watched in a 100 times on VHS when they were 10 years old.
