Because the public demanded it: even less actual content!

I was following links around LJ earlier, and stumbled on an old poll that someone had posted eons ago, asking the question I'm about to ask, and the results alarmed me to such a degree that I have to start wondering about the future of the human race. So, please, help restore my faith in humanity, won't you?

[Poll #1640524]

This was a tough choice (primarily between The Producers, Blazing Saddles, & Young Frankenstein) I ended up choosing The Producers because it was the most "realistic" of the three.

Are you seriously asking us to only pick one?! Noooooo!

If those bars for the three movies after Spaceballs move above zero, there's something really fucking wrong with the universe.

It was close between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, and they really could switch depending on my mood. I liked The Producers, but I've only seen it once; I've re-watched Saddles the most.

I hated History of the World: Part 1. I'd rented it from the video store, and I returned it before anyone else in the family could watch it. Yeah, I wanted it away that quickly. They re-rented it. Oh, well, their choice to make. I had a visceral reaction, like my first exposure years later to the Marvel Zombies comics: very much DO NOT WANT. I'm not sure I can explain it more than that.

And I liked it in the day, but I doubt that Spaceballs holds up except in parts. Like "I knew it, I'm surrounded by Assholes!" (Ever read Harlan Ellison's epic Spaceballs take-down?)

You can thank my adolescent huge-freaking-crush on Cary Elwes for my vote.

BTW, thank you for asking "favorite" instead of "best". Saved me having to do a lot of re-watching.

"Class Dismissed!" XD

I agree, It really is a tough choice between Frankenstein, The Producers, and Blazing Saddles. There are also the broadway musical versions of Producers and Frankenstein as well if you bother to include them. I think Mel Brooks and Marlo Thomas as a pair of babies in Free To Be You and Me is pretty damn cute too:

It's a very, very close race, but extremely subjective and personal factors make the edge.

Difficult choice between 'Spaceballs' and 'Blazing Saddles'. Being the sci-fi fan I am, I had to settle for the former....

History of the World, Pt I

I can't even remotely begin to guess how many times I watched this in high school, but its numbers are up there with RHPS.

[mick-hale.livejournal.com]

Between Young Frankenstein, Spaceballs, Robin Hood, and Blazing Saddles, I've watched Robin Hood the most and find myself quoting it in every day life much more. So it was an obvious choice. This does not mean that any of the other movies are less meritorious.

[rubian77.livejournal.com]

I second that, but for me it's Young Frankenstein...though the others are all a very close second.

[calliopes_pen]

The only ones I've seen are Young Frankenstein, Dracula: Dead and Loving It, and Robin Hood:Men in Tights. Oh, and at one point Spaceballs, but I didn't care for it.

Hard to choose.
Any chance you could add a least liked/most disliked poll?
I really dislike "the Producers". I love everything to do with the play within the movie, but they focus way to much of the movie on "producing"

[tnjade.livejournal.com]

Cannot choose. :(

[shiyiya.livejournal.com]

I've only seen Spaceballs and History Of The World Part One, so....

I think I'll answer the question "Which answer would most enrage Adam?"
