I saw it when I was around 12. Not sure exactly but it was sometime in the GWB years. Needed a lot of help from the folks, with the cultural references. In all I didn’t find it a classic of American comedy.
Yet I enjoyed Mad Mad World and the various Leslie Nielsen comedies (again with boomer interpreters on hand).
Since then I’ve seen Mel Brooks’ other achievements. I guess I just don’t get Mel Brooks. Didn’t care for YF at all. :(
There’s one reference I still don’t get.
When Harvey Korman says, “Ah yes, the Doctor Gillespie Killings.”
No clue.
I consider Young Frankenstein to be Mel Brooks' cinematic masterpiece and one of the funniest films ever made.
What movies do you think are funny?
