The Producers


The Producers is the movie that Mel Brooks is know the most for. The 1968 classic film is about a producer Max Biyalistok who is going broke, and comes up with a plan with his shy accountant Leo Bloom (Gene Wilder) by wooing rich old ladies to finance a play  they want to flop so Max and Leo can pocket the money. The Broadway play Springtime for Hitler doesn't flop but is a great success.Mel Brooks wrote all the songs in The Producers showing his all-around talent in writing, acting, composing and directing. In 2001 Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick performed in Broadway (in real life) where they won 12 Tony Awards while performing The Producers .

Spaceballs


The funniest parody by Mel Brooks is Star Wars, whoops I mean Spaceballs. The late-great John Candy plays a fake Chewbacca named Barf. Bill Pullman plays a fake Han Solo called Lone Star. Rick Moranis plays a fake Dark Vader called Dark Helmet.My personal favorite is Jabba The Hutt who is Pizza The Hutt,and you guessed it, Pizza The Hutt is a big pizza slice. A quote from the movie 'And May The Schwartz Be With You!'

High Aniexty


You have to like a comedy that's a parody of Alfred Hitchcock movies, well written, and extremely funny.

Blazing Saddles


Growing up in a household where watching Mel Brooks movies especially Blazing Saddles was a ritual. Blazing Saddles was a trail blazing movie when released to the world in 1974. You can say that because of it being a racy movie even for some people still today either don't get it or are offended by Blazing Saddles. Those of you who have seen this movie knows what I'm talking about. For those who don't here it is in a nut shell.

Blazing Saddles is making fun of Western Movies which is funny because it's the highest grossing Western movie ever made. An all-star cast of Gene Wilder, Cleavon Little, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman and Mel Brooks guarantees a boat load of laughs.
