Here's link to some Mel Brook sites:

Blazing Saddles is usually considered his greatest work, followed by (IMO) the Producers and Young Frankenstein. (I haven't seen Silent Movie or High Anxiety yet, so I'm slightly biased.)

What components does he have to compare? It sounds like a fun assignment.

Don't forget Spaceballs!



Dark Helmet: I bet she gives great helmet.

Well Dracula Dead and Loving it is his worst.

Blazing Saddles or Young Frankenstein is his best.

The rest you can arrange how you like.

?wha? no History of the World part II?!

"....Do I have any openings that this man might FIT?" -- Empress Nympho

"...I'ts good to be d' KING." -- King Louis

It's Part I.

But yes, it is fantastic. Followed by Spaceballs, Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Life Stinks & High Anxiety. The others I havent seen or dont care for.

Never warmed up to Blazing Saddles, however, Young Frankenstein and The Producers are two of the funniest movies ever made, imho

Life Stinks was worse than that Dracula one.

Life stinks was great.

Maybe you just hate the homeless or something.

what? no - if anything I hate rich republicans. I've been homeless. I thought Life Stinks was a pile of crap for completely different reasons.

Wow, i havent seen many Mel Brooks films. Although Spaceballs is a classic to me. Loved Men in Tights though

I love all his films. Young Frankenstein is at the top but Men in Tights, Dracula: Dead And Loving it and Life Stinks are some of my all time favorites.

Anyway one of his lesser known or talked about movies "Twelve Chairs" is very, very funny and I highly recommend it.
