BlackFlagg Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Spaceballs was the first I'd ever seen and is still my fav...
eiker_ir Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 i voted Spaceballs and i just bought the DVD for 5 bucks yesterday.
Ravenbomb Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 The Producers, one of my top five favorite comedys ever
Lil' Bitch Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Definitely Blazing Saddles, but History of the World is up there.
Star Ocean 3 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I can't believe there are that many votes for Spaceballs. It doesn't come close to the maturity or brilliance of Saddles or Frankenstein. ...The last time someone pointed that out, this thread died.
Kahran Ramsus Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I can't believe there are that many votes for Spaceballs. It doesn't come close to the maturity or brilliance of Saddles or Frankenstein. ...The last time someone pointed that out, this thread died. The Producers is up there too. My personal favourite is Young Frankenstein.
The Mandarin Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 The only ones I've seen are Spaceballs, History of the World Part 1, and Blazing Saddles. Saddles was funny, but if I recall, I didn't like the ending. Haven't seen it in three or four years anyway. And Spaceballs was way too silly when I watched some of it a month or two ago, but for all the yuk yuks it brought me in earlier years, it gets my vote.
DerangedHermit Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 Spaceballs............. Oh yeah........I met him while I was at work last weekend. Very cool. I didn't get an autograph or anything, as I didn't want to draw more attention towards him.
Nighthawk Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I can't believe there are that many votes for Spaceballs. It doesn't come close to the maturity or brilliance of Saddles or Frankenstein. ...The last time someone pointed that out, this thread died. Spaceballs is cult. Plus I think a lot of people watched it as kids, you really have to be older to appreciate those other movies, as per the stated maturity. Kinda heavy on atmosphere and set up they are as well, Spaceballs is real rapid fire with the gags. Surprisingly, my favorite line is probably "Out of order? Fuck!" (even in the future nothing works). The way fuck is thrown in for pretty much no reason... classic. You know, Robin Hood Men in Tights really did have some stuff going for it. Nice cast for one: Cary Elwes, Richard Lewis, Dave Chappelle, Patrick Stewart, Isaac Hayes... too bad they were kind of wasted.
Ravenbomb Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 am I the only one who found Spaceballs terribly unfunny?
Anakin Flair Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 am I the only one who found Spaceballs terribly unfunny? Probably. For me, it was tied between Spaceballs and Blazing Saddles. But in the end, Blazing Saddles won. It's the superior movie in the end. I was going to pull some quotes off of IMDB (haven't seen the movie in a while, plan on buying the 30th aniversary edition on Tuesday) but when I looked, tehre were to many good ones. And to many ethnic slurs. So folow this LINK to read the quotes. As a side note, I recomend that everybody eitehr rent of buy the 30th anniversary editon, as it is supposed to have scenes that were not included in the original release (but were included, oddly enough, in the release they gave to Channel 11 back in the early 90's that my mom taped. Weird.)
spiny norman Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 am I the only one who found Spaceballs terribly unfunny? No, and thank god there's someone else on here who shares my opinion. I sat throughout that entire movie on a bustrip while all those around me laughed their heads off. I think I smiled once. It is such a terrible movie and I can not believe that people are picking it over Young Frankenstein. Spaceballs was a torturous experience for me and is, in my opinion, the second worst movie I've ever seen.
tbondrage99 Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 I love Spaceballs as much as the next person but Blazing Saddles is leaps and bounds ahead of it in my opinion. Actually, I like Robin Hood Men In Tights more then Spaceballs as well.
Henry Spencer Posted June 27, 2004 Report Posted June 27, 2004 The Producers and Young Frankenstein are easily his best.
Guest Real F'n Show Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Wasn't "The Princess Bride" a Mel Brook's movie? Anyway, my favorite is definately Blazing Saddles.
Guest El Satanico Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Mel Brooks had nothing to do with The Princess Bride.
Nighthawk Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 He did have something to with Elephant Man, come to think of it. That was pretty good.
NoCalMike Posted June 28, 2004 Report Posted June 28, 2004 Speaking of Mel Brooks, I just got back from seeing The Producers play. Pretty good stuff. Personally, I grew up in the era where Spaceballs was on three times a day at least five times a week, so I would say it is my personal favorite, although the quality of Young Frakenstein can't be beat.
BrokenTiger Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 History of The World owns me. Loved the Moses/Commandments part. Close second: Blazing Saddles. Also watched Young Frakenstein, Spaceballs and Dracula: Dead and Loving It. I need more Mel Brooks movies in my stressful existence.
redbaron29 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Definately Blazing Saddles... Timeless classic...probably one of the last great politically incorrect classics of that generation. Spaceballs also holds a place near and dear to thy heart
tbondrage99 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Posted June 29, 2004 Men in Tights needs a US DVD release. I would settle to even have it on VHS but cant find that anywhere either, my friend had it though and actually sold it for like 3 bucks, to a pawn shop. I called him stupid cause I would given him more for it, unfortunally by the time I got to the store it was already long gone, I dont even think it made it on the shelf with all the other movies there like, the 7 or 8 copys of Batman & Robin & four Bill & Teds Excellent Adventures along with a bunch of other crappy movies.
