Wot 'ump?



:D:D:D Only Marty Feldman could've pulled that off so well! Mel was always spot-on, with his casting. :D


The entire cast of this movie is perfect! Mel is a genious.

Woohoo Blazing Saddles is up next. :D

Igor, would you mind telling me whose brain I did put in?
And you won't be angry?
I will NOT be angry.
Abby someone.
Abby someone. Abby who?
Abby Normal.
Abby Normal?
I'm almost sure that was the name.

My favorites, in order:

1) Blazing Saddles (can there ever be a campfire scene in a movie again where this isn't brought up. The film destroyed the western genre for a decade)

2) History of the World Part I - Orson Welles' choice as narrator was but one unnoted genius.

3) Young Frankenstein (okay. I'm just a Madeleine Khan worshipper)

4) High Anxiety - the idea of Harvery Korman being treated like a dog in a BDSM session by Cloris Leachman.:D

For the record...on my first tandem...they made us watch the flick about liability waivers and all that...

Is it just me, or did the dude speaking (USPA I think) have a beard just like Gene Hackman in Young Frankenstein? I tried so damn hard to focus, but couldn't get over that...

I vote for the inclusion of Blazing Saddles and The Twelve Chairs...for what it's worth...

You have to have Spaceballs somewhere on that list!



Actually, I can't. Spaceballs had some good funny stuff but for fans of Mel Brooks it just did not have the edginess of his others. Spaceballs was kind of a "safe" movie - no risk of censorship or boycott as in those films I mentioned.

I expected more from Brooks. It's like V ince Neill doing the chicken dance. He did a good job but a chickendance? You're Vince Neill!!!

I'm a fan and I'd put Spaceballs up there. I never did see your #4 choice though, maybe I should buy it.
