I haven't seen it either... the title doesn't sound like some funny movie, so it's probably some movie I have never noticed before in the TV guide...

I meant to see it when everyone was raving about it, but ended up totally forgetting. Until this thread.

I don;t know. The porducers is better than Spaceballs, but that is not really hard, now is it? Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein were better Brooks pic, IMHO.

To be honest, both The Producers and Young Frankenstein were written by Gene Wilder. Mel Brooks only produced them.

I'm not so sure about taking movie recomendations from you guys anymore  . I saw Brazil and didn't like it. Even though I liked his later movie of twelve monkeys.
Some of those old style comedies I don't like very much. Maybe I just can't relate to the culture back then. Blazing Saddles and History of the World were OK, but I just couldn't get into them that much.

You need to see Brazil when you are... how do you say??? HIGH AS A KITE... then it's really good.

I can't believe there is a 2 page thread on SPACEBALLS.
While good, it is not worthy of this extreme merit
Mel Brooks is genius

Spaceballs is indeed the funniest movie ever.
The Producers? It's good, but... eh... Spaceballs is by far better. Blazing Saddles was excellent, perhaps as good as Spaceballs.

I just thought of something. There is a funnier movie than all those mentionned, including Spaceballs. That movie is ... "Austin Powers in Goldmember"
That movie is absolutely the funniest movie ever made. Nothing beats the scene where Austin Powers "gives birth" to Mini-me. Funniest thing ever ever seen on tv!

It's a shame too... because the first one was SOO good! The second one was eh, and the third one, oh God. It had some funny parts, but the rest of it was just dumb (first scene with Dr. Evil and the end 'revelation'). Instead of being a parody of 60s spy flicks in general, it became a parody of many different films, and found itself in the genre with 'Scary Movie'.

But don't forget the scene when Clouseau goes to this house to investigate the kidnapping of the scientist who lived there. He calls all the family together, and starts accusing them of murder. He accidently gets his hand caught in one of those middle ages "iron gloves". He is standing in front of the fire place, which heats up the glove. In a desperate attempt to remove the glove, he ends up swinging the chain and balls around, smashing vases, and accidently knocks a gun down which fires right into some policeman's ass. The whole scene is classic!
|
That whole movie was hilarious. By far the best of the Pink Panther series. And it began with Clousseau visiting Dreyfuss in the institution he was committed to and Clousseau keeps accidently knocking him into the pond until Dreyfuss has another breakdown and tries to kill him again.
If you guys ever have the chance, watch "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and "The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming". Those are two classics from the 60's. The first one is more slapstick with the best cast I've ever seen for a movie, the second tries to mix in some character development so it's not just one sight gag after the next. Alan Arkin and Carl Reiner lead the cast...

Am I really the only person here who thinks Spaceballs is a piece of sh!t? Mind you, I love The Producers, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles, so I'm not anti-Brooks. In fact, I find nearly every movie mentioned on this thread (except Goldmember, which I haven't seen) hilarious. But Spaceballs?! Blech. :

Two hilarious and intelligent films. Every time I see Life of Brian I find another bit of multi-level comedy. For instance:
Brian is trying to tell the huge crowd of disciples who have follwed him home to go away. They aren't keen on it, so he tries to explain why it's foolish to simply blindly follow a leader.
Brian: Look here, you're all individuals...
The Crowd as One: We're all individuals!
Brian (even more frustrated): You're all different!
The Crowd as One: We're all different!
Single Man in the Crowd: I'm not.

Just before that while he has the gauntlet and morning star stuck on his hand a bee lands on the piano beside him. He suddenly gives a war cry and smashes the bee with the morning star, which also destroys the piano.
Lady of the house upset: That was a priceless Steinway!
Clouseau coolly: Not anymore.

Perhaps my harsh view of it is tainted by being in a bad mood when I saw it or something like that. Anyway, I hated it, which made Mars Attacks at least palatable to me.

Wasn't the one with Jews in Space in it a Mel Brooks movie, too? Which one?
