Mel Brooks' movies

[metalhead]

I have always been a huge fan of Mel Brooks' movies. While his newer movies seem to lack the cleverness that some of his older films have, such as High Anxiety, but I nevertheless find them to be hilarious. This may be due to the casts, which in Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights (I'm a big Carey Elwes fan) really made the movies. I haven't seen his last directorial offering, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, so I can't really judge that one.

Please only vote for 3 options above.

Space Balls, Blazing Saddles, and Young Frakenstein are the only ones I've seen. Although Space Balls ranks in the Top 10 funniest movies I've seen...

I think the Producers was the finest with Blazing saddles coming in second.

 

[Mongo97]

SpaceBalls, History Of The World Part I, and Blazing Saddles.

Mongo only pawn, in game of life!

 

[Mojotronica]

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and The Producers.

Starting w/ HotW, his movies really declined in quality...

'Spaceballs' and 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights' are my favorites. Those movies were hilarious!!!
They are cult films for us here (Family & Friends).

I knew there was a reason I didnt like democracy. How can The Producers have only 2 votes?

"'Scuse me while I whip this out..."

Blazing Saddles, The Producers, and Young Frankenstein.

 

[Remorseless]

Blazing, Young F and the Producers

Bart! Bart! They said you was hung...

The producers had one of the best scenes of any film: when the play starts, the musical number kicks in, and you see the look on the audience members' faces. Classic!

Likewise, Blazing Saddles has one of the funniest lines ever, when the Waco Kid pulls the sherrif out from behind the rock by the KKK guys and says "Hey fellows, look what I caught."
sherrif: "Where da white women at?"

Spaceballs was also hilarious; those 3 seem to be leading in the results.

Spaceballs is da bomb!

Young Frankenstein was by far is greatest achievment.

Saw Producers when I was about 8. Just had learned about nazis and Hitler and then saw a movie where someone made fun of them. Wow!

I also liked 12 chairs, but not enough to vote for the best.

Marty Feldman as "Igor" is just great. Young Frankenstein is first on my list, followed closely by Space Balls.

 

[Mike B.]

No mention of "To Be Or Not To Be" ? It's not as funny as some of his other movies but it's definitely got some funny parts. I believe it's also a remake of an older film.

I've liked every one of his movies that I've seen but I especially liked Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles. And of course Spaceballs rules. I have most of his movies on tape but I haven't seen The Producers or 12 Chairs....

Prepare for Ludicrous Speed!!!

Some I like more than others, but for the most part, if I sit down to watch a Mel Brooks movie, I know I'll enjoy it.

"Oy! I need to start working with a younger crowd!"

Hey!! Good to see Firaxis in the OT forums.

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein(written by Gene Wilder ?!?), History of the World-Part 1.....I was always disappointed Part 2 never got made, was really looking forward to Jews in Space

blazing saddles, spaceballs

"What did you do?"
"Murder, rape, arson, and rape."
"You said rape twice."
"I like rape."

"Blazing Saddles" is definitely my favorite of his, I also picked "HOTW" and "Spaceballs". Haven't seen a lot of the other ones though. The Dracula one was kind of stupid though--I was disappointed with it anyway, compared to his others.
