Mel Brooks

[The Owl]

I would have to go with Blazing Saddles. HOTWp1 in a close second. Then RH:MET in third.

 

I love Mel Brooks' films. I wish he would return to writing and directing which he hasen't done since D:DALI in 1995.

"Hitler... there was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in ONE afternoon! TWO coats!"

 

[Cowtothesky]

Tough one - Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were close. Gave the edge to Young Frankenstein!

[Jack Aubrey]

"That's Fronkensteen!"

 

"Igor?"

"No it's Eye-gor."

"But they said your name was Igor."

"Well they were wrong then, weren't they?"

 

"Igor, get the bags."

"Coitainly. You take the blonde and I'll take the one in the toiban."

I know this has nothing to do with his movies, but have you folks heard Brooks' classic

skit with Carl Reiner? Hit the link to check it out, it's hilarious!

[Stormtron]

Blazing Saddles is my favorite comedy ever. Young Frankenstein would be second Mel pick.

 

Dracula: Dead and Loving It is pretty bad, but I swear that's the best title ever.

Agreed. Great title, rotten movie.

 

[ReRushed]

It's my opinion that Mel Brooks hasn't made a truly great movie since Young Frankenstein.

[Albone2112]

Blazing Saddles, with HotWp1, Young Frankenstein, and Spaceballs coming in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th respectively.

[rushbass]

I liked Mel Brooks best for his role in "The Adventures of Letterman"

[Alex]

Blazing Saddles is a classic. Friggen hilarious.

[1-0-0-1-0-0-1]

1. Blazing Saddles

2. Young Frankenstein

3. History of the World Pt. 1

4. Spaceballs

5. The Producers

 

The rest I don't care for as much, though "High Anxiety" and "Silent Movie" had some good moments.

Yes Happy 82nd!

What about To be or Not to Be?

[Hatchetaxe&saw]

Blazing Saddles is probably the finest comedy ever made. There, I've said it. I feel better now.

 

Little bastard shot me in the ass!

 

Men In Tights is a riot too.

 

Sheriff of Rottingham:"Don Giovanni, if I may say so, your lizard looks limp".

 

Don Giovanni: "Yeah well, when you get to be my age.....Oh! My lizard!! Oh yeah!

 

Robin: Blinkin, listen to me, they've taken the castle!

Blinkin: I thought it felt a bit drafty.

 

Legend. Happy Birthday!

This was a tough choice because Mel Brooks rocks! I had to go with Young Frankenstein.

[GeddyRulz]

"Blazing Saddles" is going to win this in a cakewalk. I voted for it too, but I also loved "High Anxiety."

 

Some of his others do nothing for me. I hated "Spaceballs" and didn't see the thrill over "History of the World."

[hunter]

They're all so good, but Blazing Saddles gets my vote too. Young Frankenstein is a close second followed by the rest.

 

 

[GeddyRulz]

"Where all the white women at?"

[LoneStar Boogie]

Holy Crap!!! So far I am the onliest vote for History of the World Part 1!!!

 

Blazing Saddles was a close second, though.

Someone needs to go back to town and grab a shit load of dimes!
