5. I just got a hi def TV and saw this again, all cleaned up. It looked so good. And was

just as funny as I remembered. :)

13. Agreed, these were Mel Brooks finest films

and it's nearly impossible to pick a winner.

2. My dear Brigid!

Now, to be fair, I have to say that I haven't seen Blazing Saddles...

But Young Frankenstein ranks up there as one of the funniest movies evah!

Enjoy!

:hi:

7. Then you should watch Blazing Saddles because it's way funnier

Oops, I just gave away which one I voted for.

3. Blazing Saddles

I like Young Frankenstein, but I think hewing so closely to the Frankenstein myth limits it. Blazing Saddles is more anarchic, and funnier for it.

6. I adore both, but I LOVE Marty Feldman.

I just realized that there are a bunch of old Marty Feldman Shows on Youtube. I am a happy camper.

That said, both are just wonderful.

8. Find the vampire reference.

On a side note, it was suppose to be wacko as in crazy, not the town in Texas, that still irritates me.

:toast:

:popcorn:

9. See how sneaky you are! This is a trick question!

Both occupy the top two spots for best Mel Brooks films.

11. Tough choice but I'll pick Young Frankenstein

Just one reason: The end scene in Blazing Saddles is pretty lame but it's so good overall it's one of my favorites of all time.

12. "Candygram for Mongo" never fails to crack me up.

[sarge43]

14. For me it's Mongo on that brahma bull

That never grows old.

"No, no. Don't shoot him. That only makes him mad."

22. " Mongo mere pawn in game of life" are words I still live by. n/t

15. watched young frankenstein over the weekend

and it is still wicked funny.

16. Put the candle back!

[Mad_Dem_X]

17. "Fron-ken-STEEN!"

Love Gene Wilder, and the late, great Peter Boyle.

ETA: And Madeline Kahn - how could I forget her? One of my favorite funny ladies!

18. "Oooooooo, sweet mystery of life....."

"Where are you going?....Oh, you men are all alike. Seven or eight quick ones and then you're out with the boys to boast and brag. You better keep your mouth shut! Oh. I think I love him."


:rofl:

21. Like comparing apples and oranges, IMHO...

...both are hilarious yet so different in style. I can't choose!

[realisticphish]

23. Blazing Saddles is good from start to finish

YF is kind of weak towards the end. Still brilliant, but not as good.

Though Marty Feldman gives it MAJOR bonus points

Blazing Saddles also has the benefit of the shock value. That movie would NEVER EVER get made today. At least not in the form it was then.

[SacredCow]

24. Very difficult to pick....

but I had to go with Blazing Saddles.

[Red State Rebel]

25. Call me sophomoric but you can't top the first ever Fart Scene in a movie!!

[liberaltrucker]

26. Must I choose???
