MEL BROOKS IS A GENIUS.  Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles have been on my top 10 list of movies (numbers 2 and 3 respectively) since they first came out.  That has been many years ago and nothing has been able to knock them out of their slots.  With the exception of my number one favorite movie, I have watched Young Frankenstein more times than any other movie.  I still quote lines from it to this day.
