Blazing Saddles is on AMC. I love this movie. It's such a hoot, on so many different levels. Anybody else got a better one?

Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
Blazing Saddles is probably his best movie, certain parts of History of the World Part II, Spaceballs, and Robin Hood Men in Tights were memorable. Dracula dead and loving it, was just awful in every way... and incidentally his last movie.
Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
I'm going to have to agree with Blazing Saddles, but History of the World Part I is a pretty close second.

There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
Not a very well known one and one that's not really good. It does have some brilliant scenes in it though. Life Stinks.

Yes, Life Stinks is a very good not-great movie. It has one of the saddest lines in it that sticks with me for some reason. One of the homeless guys says, "They call me Sailor because I almost joined the navy once."
I dunno, I just find that... sad.

Robin Hood, no doubt about it.

Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
It's a tossup between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. I remember reading somewhere that he made those two films back-to-back in the space of something like eight months. When you peak, man, you peak.

Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
I probably enjoyed Spaceballs the best, followed closely by Blazing Saddles. Didn't enjoy Robin Hood Men in Tights that much though.

Re: Favorite Mel Brooks Movie
Blazing Saddles.
The Producers was brilliant though, and I think Marcel Marceau's only speaking role....ever.

It's hard to love any one Mel Brooks movie. Blazing Saddles Young Frankenstein and Robin Hood are all classics. I love watching Young Frankenstein around Halloween, makes it all mean something.

I ask because it's usually something like that which causes outbursts like this, needless to say I dissagree completely.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then, the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
