Young Frankenstein
Directed by Mel Brooks
Made right after Brook’s over the top in every way including the box office- and future entry on the top 101, “Blazing Saddles”,
Mel Brooks was almost understated in his direction, and vision for “Young Frankenstein”,

| Mel Brooks and Marty Feldman |
I said Almost!!
Brooks, maybe the best slapstick, campy, réalisateur in film history, started off as a writer for TV, including the “Dick Van Dyke show”, & “Your Show of Shows”
Teaming with Carl Reiner, the duo worked together for years in the TV industry, then they released several comedy lps, that were hits, and included the routine the 2000 year old man.

| 1974 Young Frankenstein |
Young Frankenstein parodies the old school horror films
and the gothic novels of Shelley and company
Co-written with Gene Wilder, the film was shoot in wonderful black & white
and uses some of the same sets used in the 1931 James Whale classic film “Frankenstein”.
With a great cast, including the already on this list, Peter Doyle,
Young Frankenstein is still laugh out loud funny,
even during the silly dance numbers, which may include the best monster- doctor dance routine in the history of Cinema.
