Most Jews just love when you praise Jesus for them.

I miss Madelyn Khan. She is definitely up there in the best comedic actresses of all time category, and she was also damn sexy.

 

R.I.P.

I would go with Blazing Saddles because I don't remember History of the World all that well, I just remember that when I saw it around 40 years ago I did not think it was one of Mel Brooks' better movies.

Blazing Saddles by a landslide for me. It's my favorite comedy of all time.

History of the World for me.

[Rutlefan]

I went with Blazing Saddles but Young Frankenstein is easily my favorite (Blazing Saddles being a perfectly respectable second). Young Frankenstein is probably my favorite comedy ever, along with Raising Arizona (add Alien and you've got my top three films).

[Nova Carmina]

Blazing Saddles is more slapstick, more one bit right after another. YF is more deliberate and a slow burn. It's a mood thing for me, but normally it's Blazing Saddles; more quotable.

 

You'd do it for Randolph Scott!

Interesting and I agree about one bit right after the other.

 

So then,

 

Which do you prefer? "Blazing Saddles" or "Airplane!?" One bit after the other...........

 

 

EPIC

I quote Young Frankenstein much more than Saddles.

 

Diff strokes, I guess.

[Tinwoodsman]

Saddles for me ... Mindless fun, breaking down all of the cinematic criteria for decency ... and then rides off into the sunset. I like watching it on Xmas eve with a bottle of whiskey in tow.

Wow. Liking making me pick between my children! I'd probably go with Airplane! So many great gags . . . Gun to my head, favorite bit: "Assume crash positions." Or "How can they be lost? They're on instruments." Or "Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit . . ."

 

If Young Frankenstein had been Brooks's only movie in 1974, it would still be a monster year (bah-dum-dum), but to do both in '74? That's a creative peak, that is.

Blazing Saddles for Mel. But Airplane tops them all.

 

Male child, after handing coffee to female child; "cream and sugar?"

FC: "No, I take it black; like my men."

 

Male passenger motions to female passenger with small flask, "Ma'am?"

FP: "Certainly not!", then pulls out straw and snuff box and takes a couple of snorts. :laughing guy:
