What's your favorite Mel Brooks movie?

[trandy9850]

It's gotta be Young Frankenstein.

Although High Anxiety is hilarious.

 

[ficelles]

Young Frankenstein for sure.

 

[ficelles]

Just my opinion of most people's "top 3"...

Blazing Saddles - aged poorly on the PC front,

Deliberately non-PC to make a point, I believe

 

[Bendyha]

Mel's greatest influence on my own life would have to be the years of watching the Get Smart series as a kid, which he wrote for and initially created.

I lived in Denmark at the time and my fave Mel Brooks movie was called "Springtime For Hitler" over there but I think it was called The Producers in the English speaking world. It just pips Blazing Saddles in my view with Young Frankenstein third. Marty Feldman was a true comic genius.

Most everything he ever did.
The Laughs just kept coming.

 

[HoodieMcFoodie]

I'm gonna be the contrarian in the room and say Spaceballs.

 

[metalicaster]

I don’t think I’ve ever laughed as hard as the first time I saw the musical number ‘Springtime for Hitler’

Blazing Saddles has some great moments. Young Frankenstein is probably most consistently funny movie.

 

[brookdalebill]

OK.
Young Frankenstein.
Terry Garr, Madeleine Kahn, and Marty Feldman.
That’s why.

 

[Mjark]

Young Frankenstein.

IMO the correct answer is all of them. I just watched Spaceballs the other day, coincidentally.

 

[Fiesta Red]

Young Frankenstein
Blazing Saddles
High Anxiety

 

[TeleBrew]

Blazing Saddles is my favorite, and I think it still holds up. It was deliberately meant to tweak the noses of the establishment of those days in general, and bigots especially.

Young Frankenstein is a close second for me.

 

[StoneFaceGrin]

Off my head it’s Blazing saddles.
Two movies I can recommend that aren’t are UHF and
Transylvania 6-5000

UHF isn’t a Brooks movie. It’s a Weird Al movie; and while it’s an acquired taste, it’s a funny movie in its own right.

 

[Sparky472]

Young Frankenstein

 

[NoTeleBob]

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs in no particular order.

All hilarious.

 

[Lone_Poor_Boy]

'Young Frankenstein', then 'The Producers', then 'Spaceballs'. 'Blazing Saddles' didn't age well in my opinion.

 

[Vegetable Man]

Young Frankenstein
Spaceballs

 

[teletimetx]

Young Frahnkensteen

 

[Knows3Chords]

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

"We'll work up an old number 6 on 'em" and "Seda-give" still make me howl with laughter.
