Summary: Put the Candle Back!
Comment: One of my favorite gifts for over-50 folks. Certainly one of the funniest movies of all time, if, that is, you are a fan of old movies and double entendre. Everybody has seen it, but everybody is ready to watch for the 10th time and everybody has their favorite line. It is truly timeless.

Customer Rating:
Summary: nonstop laughs
Comment: This movie is a classic. It's hilarious. If you like Mel Brooks movies you'll LOVE this film. It truly is one you can watch over and over again. Cloris Leachman is perfect in her role. And do you recognize the monster? Think "everybody loves Raymond". Enjoy!

Summary: Old Favorite
Comment: Since I am trying to develop a library of some of my favorite movies, I had to get a copy of Young Frankenstein. It isn't as funny as Blazing Saddles but it is an enjoyable movie with a number of laughs. I see something new in it each time I watch it.

If you were to argue that Mel Brooks's Young Frankenstein ranks among the top-ten funniest movies of all time, nobody could reasonably dispute the claim. Spoofing classic horror in the way that Brooks's previous film Blazing Saddles sent up classic Westerns, the movie is both a loving tribute and a raucous, irreverent parody of Universal's classic horror films Frankenstein (1931) and Bride of Frankenstein (1935). Filming in glorious black and white, Brooks re-created the Frankenstein laboratory using the same equipment from the original Frankenstein (courtesy of designer Kenneth Strickfaden), and this loving attention to physical and stylistic detail creates a solid foundation for nonstop comedy. The story, of course, involves Frederick Frankenstein (Gene Wilder) and his effort to resume experiments in re-animation pioneered by his late father. (He's got some help, since dad left behind a book titled How I Did It.) Assisting him is the hapless hunchback Igor (Marty Feldman) and the buxom but none-too-bright maiden Inga (Teri Garr), and when Frankenstein succeeds in creating his monster (Peter Boyle), the stage is set for an outrageous revision of the Frankenstein legend. With comedy highlights too numerous to mention, Brooks guides his brilliant cast (also including Cloris Leachman, Madeline Kahn, Kenneth Mars, and Gene Hackman in a classic cameo role) through scene after scene of inspired hilarity. Indeed, Young Frankenstein is a charmed film, nothing less than a comedy classic, representing the finest work from everyone involved. Not one joke has lost its payoff, and none of the countless gags have lost their zany appeal. From a career that includes some of the best comedies ever made, this is the film for which Mel Brooks will be most fondly remembered. Befitting a classic, the Special Edition DVD includes audio commentary by Mel Brooks, a "making of" documentary, interviews with the cast, hilarious bloopers and outtakes, and the original theatrical trailers. No video library should be without a copy of Young Frankenstein. And just remember--that's Fronkensteen. --Jeff Shannon
