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

Tough choice seing a guy pass wind at candles or seeing Sarah Bernhardt's monumental beauty.
