Title: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie?
Post by: Corsair on January 17, 2005, 08:29:07 pm
Personally, I'd have to say I think I like Spaceballs the most, although Blazing Saddles and History of the World Part I are close. Robin Hood: Men in Tights is fourth. The one I haven't seen that I really want to is Young Frankenstein.

Oh, and The Producers as the broadway musical. That was brilliant.

Uggh it's.... so hard to choose :p

1. The Producers
2. History of the World Part I
3. To Be or Not to Be
4. Young Frankenstein
5. Blazing Saddles

The ending of To Be or Not to Be makes it all work. Mel Brooks dressed up as Hitler walking into a British pub :p

I liek life stinks.

interesting note: most of the swedish titles of mel brooks movies starts with "springtime for...". example:
blazing saddles = springtime for the sheriff
life stinks = springtime for the slum
spaceballs = springtime for space

fuct up.

Wow, so many Spaceballs votes. From this I can only conclude that--
1. You lot haven't seen many Mel Brooks films, or...
2. You all have a very, very lame sense of humor.

Seriously, even Airplane II was a better sci-fi spoof than Spaceballs, which was obviously written by someone who didn't know squat about sci-fi. And Men in Tights was even worse.

That being said--
1. Young Frankenstein
2. Blazing Saddles
3. The Producers

or maybe, *gasp*, different people have different tastes.

though to be fair, I've only seen Men in Tights and Spaceballs, so you're technically right.

I prefer to eat knives rather than subject myself to Mel Brooks.

Well now we know how YOU feel, as fro me I've seen some of his works (life stinks abd silent movie come to mind)... BUt I must say I did enjoy Space Balls. So it's a toss it for me between that and History of the World pt 1.


"So what do you think of the Roman Empire?"

    "*%^#  it!"  

:D

It always came off to me as an obnoxious Star Wars rather than a parody.

Blazing Saddles every time..

The Waco Kid: "Yes but I shoot with this hand"

Gang Boss: "If you could find it in your heart to hang this uppity n***** til he's dead"

Lily Von Schtup: "It's twue! it's twue!"

Sherrif: "Candygram for Mungo"

Gucci saddlebags, the orchestra playing in the desert, the toll booth, Mungo punching the horse, doing a number six, the Klan, etc. etc.

The best thing about it now it that it's old-school... and totally unacceptable to the politically correct, stick-up-ass censorship types we get now. :p
