Which is Mel Brooks’s funniest movie?

Mel Brooks, real name Melvin James Kaminsky, is an American actor, comedian, and filmmaker who was born on June 28, 1926. He is regarded as a maker of broad farces and parodies, which are largely considered to be among the greatest movie comedies ever made, with a career spanning over seven decades.

Mel Brooks directed Blazing Saddles, a 1974 American Western black comedy film. Brooks, Andrew Bergman, Richard Pryor, Norman Steinberg, and Alan Uger wrote the picture, which stars Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder and is based on Bergman’s story and draught. The picture got mostly positive reviews from critics and audiences, received three Academy Award nominations, and is currently placed No. 6 on the American Film Institute’s 100 Years…100 Laughs list.

Governor William J. Le Petomane, a Yiddish-speaking Native American leader and ‘a director’ in line to help assault Rock Ridge, and he also dubs lines for one of Lili Von Shtupp’s backing troops, are among Brooks’ three supporting roles. Slim Pickens, Alex Karras, and David Huddleston star among Brooks regulars Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, and Harvey Korman in the supporting ensemble. Count Basie, the bandleader, makes a cameo appearance with his orchestra.

From the Count Basie Orchestra singing ‘April in Paris’ in the Wild West to Slim Pickens referring to the Wide World of Sports, the picture is full of purposeful anachronisms. The Library of Congress designated Blazing Saddles as ‘culturally, historically, or aesthetically important’ in 2006, and it was chosen for preservation in the National Film Registry.
