Who has made the funniest movies? |
|
Mel Brooks or the Zucker Brothers? I vote for the brothers, even though I love Mel Brooks.

1. All of you are just MEAN! |

I'm insecure, and there are lots of other threads every bit as boring as this one. If you were nice, you would post a reply!:cry:

Zucker brothers are close, but Brooks' humor (in most of his movies) is more nuanced and "edgy," in the context of the time he made his movies anyway, imo.

I find all his movies hysterically funny. Full of puns and double entendres.

8. #1. Zucker Brothers. #2. Monty Python. #3. Marx Brothers. #4. Mel Brooks. #5. Woody Allen. |
|
and I know I'll get crucified here for this, but I would put the Coen brothers down around #357. Just plain unfunny. They only good film they have ever done was "The Man Who Wasn't There."

If you're talking works intended to be comedies, I never get tired of watching Mel Brooks or Monty Python movies.
I also love the unintentionally funny bits. Like "Mommy Dearest" or some of the 50/60's fear-proganda films.

10. Zucker Brothers, no doubt. |
|
Airplane!, The Kentucky Fried Movie and the Naked Gun series are some of the best comedies ever made.

11. Well, since I'm feeling like a 2000 year old man these days.... |
|
I must go with Mel Brooks. His body of work is a testament to comic genius. And, I realize it is partly a generational thing. I'm not that familiar with the Zucker brothers.
