Just the movies he directed. Which do you prefer?

High Anxiety was his last good film. Anything before that and including that is pure Gold. very difficult to choose. My shortlisit is Young Frankenstein or The Producers. Ill have to think about it.

Really? I like the ones after as well, I haven't voted because I can't decide either.

Blazing Saddles is still the funniest movie I've ever seen in my life. The writing in that was absolutely brilliant. Too many one liners to mention, but all just pure gold. I've seen it about 30 times and still laugh like mad.

Trivia: who played the role of Sheriff Bart in the VERY short lived TV spinoff Black Bart?

Slm Pickens as Taggert was simply brilliant.

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Blazing Saddles
Silent Movie
Spaceballs
Dracula: Dead and Loving It

(none below 2/4 stars)

I just love Robin Hood. It's light-hearted and gets laughs all the time.

For me, the choice is between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, two classic comedies that came out in the same year, somehow.

Although it's close, I choose Blazing Saddles, because it works well both as a comedy and as a social commentary.

Blazing Saddles is my all time favourite, although everything up to History of the World part 1 was excellent.

Blazing Saddles may just be the funniest movie ever made.  I also like (a lot) History of the World ...

I had to go with Spaceballs, very closely followed by Young Frankenstein.

Young Frankenstein

Just for Peter Boyle doing 'Puttin' on the Ritz'

GENIUS!

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

I'm more of a Gene Wilder fan, who wrote most of Young Frankenstein and did other gems like 'The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes Smarter Brother'. Madeline Khan also brilliant, and Peter Boyle, both sadly gone now.
