ParanoidObsessive 07/21/21 5:07:34 AM #6:	KodyKeir posted... What are some of your favourite comedies from before you were born? Not a huge fan of comedies that pre-date me, but Mel Brooks had some of his best movies in the early 70s (Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are obvious for most people, but I'm a fan of Silent Movie as well). And I'm a huge fan of Murder By Death (1976). Also, I'm a red-blooded American male, so I'm legally obligated to enjoy The Three Stooges. Monty Python would fall into that category as well - the TV show is late 60s/early 70s, and Holy Grail pre-dates me, though Life of Brian and Meaning of Life (which I consider better than Holy Grail) came out after I was born. Beyond that, the only other pre-70s comedy I can think of at all that I like is It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:956308596] in Old Comedi...

11110111011 07/21/21 7:15:19 AM #8:	The obvious were mentioned. Blazing Saddles, Python and the Holy Grail on the movie side. Maybe add Young Frankenstein. As far as shows, I loved Get Smart, Fawlty Towers, Carol Burnett show, The Muppet Show (aired in the 80s, though) and Python's flying circus. <cite>11110111011 posted [p:956309957] in Old Comedi...

GastroFan 07/21/21 7:58:03 AM #9:	Bringing Up Baby (1930s with Cary Grant and Katharine Hepburn) and Philadelphia Story (1940s with, again, Cary Grant, Kate Hepburn but added in Jimmy Stewart). Then there's It Happened One Night with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable from the 1930s and You Can't Take It With You (Jimmy Stewart's first picture which came out in the early 1930s). Of course nobody can leave out any movie with the Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy, or Monty Python; those are classics, along with the Little Rascals (who mostly did shorts in the 1930s). More recent would be the Airplane! series, Naked Gun series, Blazing Saddles and other Mel Brooks movies, Top Secret!, Hot Shots series and the first Major League movie. <cite>GastroFan posted [p:956310624] in Old Comedi...

And a lot of the plot for Blazing Saddles came from Andrew Bergman and Richard Pryor. But Mel Brooks was the director of both and they're generally seen as being "his" movies. orlouge82 posted... Also, Mel Brooks' movies, while all are varying levels of good, definitely peaked in the 70s. I tend to see Spaceballs as his last great film, and I really liked History of the World, so I can't dismiss the 80s entirely. As for the 90s, my usual stance is that Men in Tights is a pretty good movie with a handful of flaws, whereas Dead and Loving It is a really flawed movie with a handful of good moments, so neither is ideal.
