It's a bit kitsch...and always seems to have a musical number involved...but in their day,his best movies were funny...but roll your eyes kind of funny.

Thank you for this. I understand what you're saying.I'm gonna watch Young Frankenstein one of these days.

Probably not, but the same friend who recommended Blazing Saddles also recommended Young Frankenstein. Your rec makes two. I have to see what I'm missing:).

I just watched Hot Shots and I gotta admit I didn't find it funny. Maybe I'm just in too serious a mood! When you feel like that nothing's funny.

Anyone watch Hot Shots and like it? I'm not calling anyone out. It's possible I suffered an injury to my sense of humor (or never had one!). What's the consensus on Hot Shots?

Young Frankenstein has a few moments. Blazing Saddles had none. It's odd that it seems so badly dated in a way that the Marx brothers do not, for instance.

Humor is relative...some people like the three stooges...I never really found them funny.

Marx brothers were witty...sometimes that stands the test of time. I like the Marx Brothers too, but it's 'clever' humor that isn't going to leave me howling....or maybe just not anymore.

Re: What is The Last Movie You Watched?

I wholly agree that taste in humour is subjective. The Carry On series (is that familiar to American moviegoers?) has huge numbers of followers in the UK. I have always found its crass smuttiness simple minded and dreadful. As with the Three Stooges. But I wasn't really suggesting that my taste is correct (unlike some other posers here). Simply my preference.

I can't say I'm familiar with the 'Carry On' series of films, though I'll look into them. I do have to admit that I'm more than a bit curious as to what Stavros finds funny...or better yet - hilarious.... :)

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, High Anxiety, Silent Movie, History Of The World Part One, and even Spaceballs were good. Life Stinks really stunk though.

Had the pleasure one time to ask Mel Brooks if he was going to make History Of The World Part Two. I was 19 and it was an honor to meet such a nice guy and massive talent.
