[RevolutionaryActs]

1. I can't choose.

:cry:

[Redstone]

2. Me either. All of them. I'd watch any one again right now.

Redstone

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. I've narrowed down to five!

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Silent Movie, Spaceballs, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, but I do enjoy Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Aw dammit.

I've narrowed it down to six! :7

[Cush]

8. Blinkin: Did you say "Abe Lincoln"?

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. Oh Master Robin!

You lost your arms in battle! But you grew some nice boobs.




We're men, We're men in tights
We roam around the forest looking for fights
We're men, We're men in tights
We rob from the rich and give to the poor
That's right!
We may look like sissies
But watch what you say
Or else we'll put out your lights
We're men, We're men in tights.

[bertha katzenengel]

11. "Yes, but unlike SOME Robin Hoods, I can speak with an English accent!"

Cary Elwes fantastic slam on Kevin Costner. :rofl:

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. I love Cary Elwes

I lost. I lost? Wait a minute, I'm not supposed to lose. Let me see the script.

[Cush]

15. "What part of Georgia you from? South Central?"

[bertha katzenengel]

16. Also he was great in "Glory."

He's a really good actor.

damn, i gotta go to bed! 'night, all.

[RevolutionaryActs]

17. I think he's great in everything he does. Like Saw, whoa.

Night bertha! :hug:

[sarge43]

38. Yeah, that was a moment

:spray:

[GOPisEvil]

3. I knew it. I'm surrounded by Assholes.

Spaceballs. :)

[Cush]

5. Spaceballs, the Flamethrower!

[VelmaD]

6. I can't possibly choose just one

I adore Blazing Saddles and History of the World Part I and Spaceballs and...

[Fuzz]

7. Spaceballs: Because it's fun to do in charades

for a man at least. ;)

[ghostsofgiants]

9. Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs, probably.

[Floogeldy]

12. Slazing Baddles!

:rofl:

[WhollyHeretic]

13. Blazing Saddles

My all-time favorite comedy.

[Generic Brad]

18. Young Frankenstein

And that it is pronounced "Eye-Gor"

[MissMillie]

45. I agree!

"no tongues!"

[achtung_circus]

52. To the lumberyard!!!!

[blondeatlast]

19. Who remembers this little ditty: "Hope for the best, expect the worst.

The rich are blessed, the poor are cursed..."

No Googling, either.

[TheBaldyMan]

33. To have and Have Not

I'm not sure if that's the proper title.

[blondeatlast]

42. Actually it's from "The Twelve Chairs."

The "unknown" Mel Brooks film, after "The Producers" and before "Blazing Saddles."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0066495/

[TheBaldyMan]

44. I quite liked Twelve Chairs,

a bit darker in tone than his more commercial fare but I think it is definately one of his better films.

[blondeatlast]

47. Me too. Much more thoughtful (still very funny) and Frank Langella

was one of my first schoolgirl crushes!

[BurtWorm]

48. I try to live by that!

;)

[Burma Jones]

20. Five Votes for Spaceballs and not a one for The Producers?

I assume we're talking about the original Producers.........with one of the greatest comic scenes of all time taking up the first twenty minutes or so of the movie........

[nuxvomica]

28. I voted for The Producers

I suspect a lot of folks haven't seen it. Zero Mostel and Gene Wilder were both at the top of their game and the movie is non-stop funny. The other movies have the advantage of making fun of other movies, which is easy to do. The Producers mines comedy gold from accounting practices. It should win more votes for the high difficulty factor alone. :D

[TOhioLiberal]

21. We're Men...

...(manly men!) We're men in tights!

[BurtWorm]

22. The Twelve Chairs really should be on that list

I don't know if I'd vote for it, but for me, it's in the top four Mel Brooks movies, the others being...guess. ;)

[blondeatlast]

43. So I'm NOT the only one who remembers. See this post, same thread:

[mykpart]

23. I voted for Blazing Saddles, but only because it

was the first Mel Brooks movie I ever saw, and the element of surprise in his humor made me laugh until my face hurt! All the others are hilarious too, but I sort of knew what to expect after the first one (in the way of outrageous humor, that is.)

[bridgit]

24. 'young frank' was a given, but i voted: Silent Movie...

:rofl:

[Skittles]

25. High Anxiety

"Don't be gauche; we're all doing it!" :D

[bridgit]

26. High An...XIEty...

one of the funniest songs too :rofl:

[Skittles]

41. I laugh just thinking about it

remember when he is on the road and that OMINOUS MUSIC starts blasting - and it's a bus full of band students passing by all playing instruments - BWAAAHAAHAAAHAAAA

[fudge stripe cookays]

46. "Dinner is served promptly at eight....

Those who are late do not get fruit cup."

[Swamp Rat]

27. I CAN'T CHOOSE!!!

x(

[sniffa]

29. to be or not to be

great movie

[NewWaveChick1981]

30. Mine is Young Frankenstein, with a very close second: Blazing Saddles.

Hubby is the opposite and thinks Blazing Saddles is his best with a very close second: Young Frankenstein. Either way, they're great!

[buddhamama]

31. I can't choose

Mel Brooks is a genius. All his movies are memorable, quotable and worth watching over and over again.

[kwassa]

32. My blue blanket! My blue blanket! and "Springtime for Hitler"

One of the great comic films ever made.

[TheBaldyMan]

34. I could never choose one, I love too many of them dearly.

I've been watching snippets of them on YouTube and have found them as fresh and funny as they were when I first saw them.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkYBJId7WZs">LSD's audition from the Producers

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETc7g96ZHZk">Gene Hackman's blind hermit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eo_UXRO-EbI">Blucher!

[sarge43]

36. The Blind Hermit

According to Brooks, Hackman ad libbed a lot of dialog, including "You're a mute (pat,pat) -- an incredibly large mute."

[sarge43]

35. I couldn't choose only one. They're all glorious

I'm laughing right now just thinking about them.

Hell, Patrick Stewart's one minute snark on Sean Connery's King Richard is funnier than most feature length commedies.

[peekaloo]

37. Blazing Frankenstein!

[Auggie]

39. I love "The Inquistion" musical number from "History of the World, Part 1"

[billyskank]

40. Prairie shit.

[chaska]

49. I DO NOT get what people like about Mel Brooks...

I can't stand that stuff. I have a great sense of humor, I love to laugh and I'm not generally all that picky about it, but where MB is concerned, I just don't see it.

I know, I'm the only one.

His stuff is just too dumb for me.

[bertha katzenengel]

53. wow . . .

:popcorn:

[NJ Democrats]

50. Blazzing Saddles

Then History of the World and YoungFrankenstien

[SoyCat]

51. **Absolutely no way to choose**
