Young Frankenstein...THAT'S FRANKEN-STEEN!
« on: August 19, 2003, 02:53:52 AM »
Is there a funnier movie? Seen it hundreds of times and it still makes me laugh. Mel Brooks caught Lightning in a Bottle. :D

Madeline Kahn: "What's the matter? Is it that music? Pay no attention to it...WAIT! COME BACK!! Oh, you men are all alike!!! 7 or 8 quick rolls in the hay and they're off....I think I love him!"
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Monty Python and the Holy Grail is still my favorite comedy.

Mel Brooks' golden erra was Y.F. and Blazing Saddles.  I love both of them.

Holy Grail is classic, but it's also one that will put you to sleep in a few spots.

Monty Python's Meaning of Life made it for me
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Oh, yes!  But some people don't find British humor funny...my wife didn't laugh the whole movie.

I hadn't read this when it first came out and took the market, but shortly after Douglas Adams died I picked them up and read the whole series.  Truly good reading.

I thought "Used Cars" with Kurt Russell was pretty funny. Also "Ghost Busters."

But yes, "Young Frankestien" was exceptional.

"My name used to be Igor, now it's Eye-gor."

Feldman was great.

Dr. F: Igor, would you help me with the bags?

Igor: Certainly, Master; you take the blond and I'll take the brunette!

Just bought it on DVD at Walmart for $5.98.  A true classic, and Mel Brooks' best work IMNSHO.

Mel Brooks sucks....sorry, but I just don't find his stuff very funny.  

Monty Python is so much better..

I first read it when I was on a trip to Toronto.  Something about being in Canada and reading British comedy just seemed a perfect match.  I don't think I could recapture that synergy if I tried to read it now.
