The one I like to watch the most is Blazing Saddles. "I like rape", Kinky.

My 12-year-old nephew got Spaceballs for a gift yesterday, and he said it's his favorite movie, which I thought was pretty funny.

Interesting. I also just realized after reading the blurb on the back that Skroob is an anagram for Brooks

Young Frankenstein is his best movie technically, but Blazing Saddles is the wildest. I'll have to think about this.

This is a hard choice for me. I like em all but haven't seen many of em in quite awhile. I remember really liking Silent Movie a lot as a kid but I went with Blazing Saddles cause I remember slaughing at that the most and most recently.

I loved THE PRODUCERS, which is easily in my top 20 movies ever. The remake was fun, but the original was a masterpiece.

I think I love High Anxiety best because I'm a big Hitchcock fan (okay, I'm not that big, but I am a fan).
