I have to agree with Blazing Saddles.
It's my all-time favorite movie, much to the chagrin of Mrs. CD.
To that list I would substitute Airplane and Young Frankenstein for Porky's and The Producers, but to each their own!
To: Chancellor Palpatine
I'd put Airplane somewhere in the Top Ten!

Nah, can't include Porky's...It's Canadian.It belongs to US!
To: Chancellor Palpatine
Porky's I and II or just the original? Also, I'm glad that you restricted the list to Amercian classics otherwise we would have to include just about every Monty Python movie.
To: Chancellor Palpatine
You forgot Dr. Strangelove.

I would swap Airplane for Porky's, and Top Gun (becuase i can watch it with Mrs. ctlpdad lots of times)for The Producers

Good picks, all, but I'd add two for special occasions: National Lampoon's Vacation--and its boffo follow-up, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Nice List. But, I would suggest Porky's move out of the top five and be replaced by Young Frankentstein. Which would then Give Mel Brooks 3 out of five.
Gene Wilder as Dr. Frankenstein
Blazzing Saddles trivia foot note: Gov. Le Petomane's name was most likely selected by Mel Brooks in honor of one Joseph Pujol who toured Europe in the 1890's billed as "Le Petomane". He was more commonly referred to by his fans as "the Fart King." His act consisted of making humourous farts and songs via flatulance. His show closer was to blow out a footlight from two feet away. He also headlined at the Moulin Rouge and commanded higher ticket prices then Sarah Bernhardt
