Moses - Ten Commandments - Mel Brooks:

[rrneck]

1. Blazing Saddles. nt

[Sherman A1]

12. Agreed

I think it is his best work.

[lame54]

23. Without a doubt...

The Producers is second

[Generic Brad]

2. Young Frankenstein

[Arcanetrance]

3. I think that's tied for first for me

[cyberswede]

4. Agree - hands down.

[Capt.Rocky300]

5. No question about it.

[GoCubsGo]

16. Yep.

I have never been able to listen to "Puttin' on the Ritz" without cracking up since seeing that movie.

20. I notice "Space Balls" is conspicuously missing from this list

Was it that bad, or is it not well known as a Mel Brooks Film? Same with "Men In Tights".

[GoCubsGo]

21. No. Both of them were great!

I thought about putting "Space Balls" as my number one, because it's so damn funny. But, the "Puttin' on the Ritz" scene just pushed "YF" up to the top for me. "Men in Tights" is also a great laugh. That's the problem with Mel Brooks films. Too many good ones make it too difficult to choose.

6. Young Frankenstien, History of the World, Part 1, Spaceballs, Blazing Saddles...

...how can I choose?! You should want I choose? Oy vey ist mir!

7. I've gotta go with The Producers

Springtime For Hitler is still the funniest thing I've ever seen on the screen, although the other films mentioned above are big favorites too.

Alright you take the blonde. I'll take the one in the toibun.

10. Blazing Saddles nt

[Riftaxe]

11. Twelve chairs

although young frankenstein is a close one...since i saw that one with the woman i would wind up committing t0.

[Skittles]

13. High Anxiety

[dipsydoodle]

14. I'd go with History of the World too.

[DinahMoeHum]

15. Blazing Saddles

n/t

[Nedsdag]

17. Life Stinks

It's an underrated film of his where he plays a rich man who becomes homeless.

Young Frankenstein and The Producers were his funniest with another underrated film, Silent Movie, a distant third.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

18. Top 4: Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, Producers, High Anxiety. 'History' didn't do it for me.

History of the World had some really funny scenes that could compare head to head with some of the best parts of my favorites but overall seemed less like a cohesive film and more like a collection of loosely tied skits lifted from scripts from other unmade Brooks movies.

[Brother Buzz]

19. I'm partial to westerns

Blazing Saddles

[Brigid]

22. "Blazing Saddles."

It's very close between that and "Young Frankenstein," but since "Blazing Saddles" is such a perfect parody of the RW reaction to Obama the whole time he's been president, I'm going with that one.
