My favorite is Spaceballs, though Men in Tights comes in at a close second. The "Now" conversation in the movie is one of my favorite moments in film history, and the rader being "jammed", BRILLIANCE!

Whoa...huge bump.
Yeah, okay, I'm not high or anything, it's just that that was a big bump and all and it befuddled me and it doesn't take much to befuddle me and...now I'm rambling.
Er, anyway, I've always thought that "Young Frankenstein" and "Dead and Lovin' It" were brilliant, in part because Brooks managed to very closely adapt the actual books that were his source material, then spoof the hell out of 'em. I mean, those two movies are so much closer to the actual stories than so-called "classic" dramatic adaptations of the books of "Frankenstein" and "Dracula" And, there's no denying that both movies are flat-out hilarious. Especially if you read both books, were bored out of your mind by "Frankenstein, actually liked "Dracula", and knew exactly what Brooks was spoofing.

Originally posted by Nerd-o-ramaI also enjoyed Young Frankenstein, but I'd hardly consider it any closer to Mary Shelley's original than any of the other movies. Perhaps, in the case of Young Frankenstein, it just seems as if you can appreciate it better after reading the book (which, like I said, I hated, but...) I mean, yeah, tons of stuff is omitted (of course, you're dealing with a sort of "Frankenstein: The Next Generation" sorta thing), but I always felt that Brooks had a clear sense of what the book was about, and managed to adapt certain aspects to the novel on the screen better than other directors before him. As for Dead and Loving It, this one is considerably closer to the book than a number of Dracula adaptations. Sure, for some inexplicable reason, Mina Harker is somehow related to Dr. Seward (and there are a few other character inconsistencies, if I recall correctly), but other than some sort of different family tree, this movie is dead-on as far as the basic plot of the movie goes. There are things ommitted, there are things added (which you can expect from a parody), but I've always felt that this and Young Frankenstein were helpful in understanding the two respective books, moreso than the dramatic interpretations of the movie. Just my opinion.

There was an interview with Gene Wilder on BBC Radio 2 last week, he mentioned that his favourite was Young Frankenstein too... ( in no small part to him being in it I'm sure ) I have yet to see it, but I understand that it's a real laugh.

On George Lucas' Lifetime Achievement Award thing last night, they had a little bit about Spaceballs, and it had the scene with the battle between Lone Starr and Dark Helmet. I hadn't seen the movie in a few months, and I remembered how funny it was. You could hear the audience laugh in the backround, or it was just one of those "TV fill-in-the-laughs" things, though it was more likely the first.

Spaceball's the best! "Who's he?" "That's Asshole sir." "I know THAT, what's his name?" "That is his name, Asshole sir, Major Asshole."

They have been planning that for the last year or so. Mel was trying to get it released by the release of Revenge of the Sith, but that didn't happen, but I think I read that he's trying to get it released before 2007.

Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs are my favorites, but I've enjoyed all of his movies (except "Dracula Dead and Loving It" that wasn't very good)
