I don't like any of them much quite frankly. I don't like loud clumsy humor.

Dracula is so inconsequential, I would've replaced it in the poll with Life Stinks.

R1 Do you not like Madeline Kahn??

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are pretty much perfect from beginning to end.

I love the selection of orgy partners in History of the World Part I, but the most consistently funny parts of that movie are the Spanish Inquisition and the French Revolution.

If it's Madeline Kahn, then High Anxiety is where she's lead actress. She's supporting in most of the others.

That's hysterical, R7.

Maybe I'd better give that movie a chance.

R8 First you need to watch every Hitchcock film to really understand the humor.

I don't like Hitchcock movies either. I think he was very overrated.

How come Life Stinks isn’t an option?

R6 love Bea Arthur’s cameo in the Roman sequence and Cloris Leachman is just brilliant in the French Revolution part

R13 Diane Keaton was terrible in that. They should have got Jessica Lange or Debra Winger for that role.

You're clearly not a gay man. Don't let the others see this^

God, as teenagers we laughed our asses off at blazing saddles, especially the campfire farts scene. Nevertheless I picked high anxiety, mainly for Cloris Leachman.
