I've yet to see a Mel Brooks film I just didn't like. But Blazing Saddles remains an all-time favorite, with Young Frankenstein very close behind. The movie did the one thing no other film has ever done since (or more literally, had the BALLS to do since)...make fun of racism.

The Producers, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frankenstein are three of the funniest films ever made.
Also, this.

History of the World, Part 1. 'nuff said. You are correct. Just saw "High Anxiety" last night. I laughed as much as the first time I saw it. The guy is a true comic genius. |

Bart: You are my guest, and I am your host. What is your pleasure? What do you like to do? Jim: I don't know... play chess... screw... Bart: [quickly] Let's play chess. [Bart and Jim are wearing KKK outfits to infiltrate the enemy's lynch mob] Jim: [spotting Bart's black hands] How many times have I told you to wash your hands after a weekly cross burning? [pretends to rub and flips it to its lighter palm] Jim: See, it's comin' off. [Taggart whips off Bart's hood] Bart: And now, for my next impression, Jesse Owens. |

Mel Brooks is sheer genius. And Madeline Kahn was, is and always will be gold.
Best line from Young Frankenstein:
-Igor, Help me with the bags.
-*groucho voice*Soitenly. You take the blonde, I'll take the one in the turban.

"My grandfather's work was doo-doo!"
My favorites are The Producers (which kicks the everloving crap out of the Broadway version), Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, History of the World Part 1, and Blazing Saddles, so essentially I like the required ones.
I do also like High Anxiety, Dracula: Dead & Loving It, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and other works of his but they don't quite meet the standards of the aforementioned films.
Don't forget that he also wrote for Get Smart.

The only Mel Brooks movie I couldn't stand was Dracula. All else is solid.
I think we should now all assemble and do The French Mistake.

I love his films, he was very good in zany parodies unlike today's comedy films. And like I did in a previous thread:  Batista: The night is young and you're so beautiful, here among the shadows, beautiful lady, open you heart. The scene is set, the breezes sing of it, can't you get into the swing of it, lady, when do we start? When the lady is kissable and the evening is cool, any dream is permissible in the heart of a fool. The moon is high and you're so glamorous, and if I seem over amorous, lady, what can I dooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo?
The night is young and I'm in love with you. Max: Don't let me in to it. It's your decision. Batista: But if we get caught we'll go to prison. Max: You think you're not already in prison? Going to a gray little ring, having a gray little push, leading a gray little life? Batista: That's right I put over people, people I'm stronger than, smarter than, better than. Where's my share? Where's Dave Batista's share? I want, I want, I WANT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER SEEN IN THE MOVIES! Max: Dave say you'll join me!  Batista: I'LL DO IT! BY GOD I'LL DO IT! Max: He'll do it! He'll do it! Batista: I'm gonna do it!  Batista: I'M THE ANIMAL BATISTA! I'M ME! I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT! IT DOESN'T MATTER! I'M THE ANIMAL!  |

But it'll sound like sssssteam esssscaping! NOT IN THE FACE! Piss on you, I'm workin' for Mel Brooks. My favorite Mel Brooks line will always be: "Gol dern it Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore." "crapkicker" |
