Your Favorite Mel Brooks Directed Film

[Impact]

So what is it? Mine is the most awesome of comedies, Spaceballs. Though Producers is quite funny.I have a confession though-I still need to see Young Frankenstien and Robin Hood: Men in Tights. (Ive only seen bits and pieces of Robin Hood)He really didn't direct a lot it seems. (Wow, he did Life Stinks. And sad to see what his last film was)As a bit of trivia-he did help write The Elephant Man.

Oh left off High Anxiety. (Not sure what this actually) Well I'll add it.

Young Frankenstein! The scene with Gene Hackman as the blind guy never fails to make me cry with laughter.

I really need to see that....as well as Robin Hood. (I remember that people didn't like RH when it came out but they love it now)

Look at my avatar and you know where I belong! Young Frankenstein is not only Brook's best, it's simply one of the best absurd comedies ever, up there with "Life of Brian" or "Sleeper".

I love a bunch of Mel Brooks' films. But this is an easy choice for me. Young Frankenstein is the best to me. From "Abby Normal" to the hump changing places, it is hilarious. I am laughing just thinking about it as I type.

Oh you should know I absolutely love Spaceballs too, but it is a close 2nd.

It has been really hard to choose. I have voted for Young Frankenstein, but when I was a child I watched both History of the World and Spaceballs dozens of times. I think Mel Brooks is very underrated. In my opinion, he is at the same level that Monty Python, for example.

Now you've done it, I had to watch the damned thing once again ... an it IS the best!"Spaceballs" is very nice and silly, too, and I watch it every now and then - "Comb the desert!" - but with Young Frankenstein there is an additional layer: It's done with such love for the details - the image composition, the sets, the costumes - that it's far more than just a spoof. It's a beautiful film in its own right. "Blazing Saddles" was very funny too, but if you look at it as a western, the production values simply were not there. "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" was ok but just so. "Silent Movie" has a nice concept and a fine cast but is not that funny. "High Anxiety" should have more tension, again it works only as a spoof.

Well wasn't that such a great story with a happy ending though?

Of course

[Impact]

Yes. I have it on VHS and DVD. :PMatter of fact-I watched it on TBS a lot!(Which back in the late 90s it was like BTTF, on all the time. BTTF I swear must be the most shown movie in history)

[SchumacherFTW]

My favourite is Blazing Saddles by far. Joint favourite of all time as well. It's just so stupid, and insane. The last act is absolutely epic!!

[xanamanax]

Young Frankenstein is my #1 comedy of all time.

Springtime for Hitler-such a memorable song
