Asking me to choose my favorite scene from Young Frankenstein is like asking a parent to pick their favorite child -- it can't be done. Instead, I chose to share one of the many scenes that can reduce me to giggles in five seconds flat. ... Full Review

acting, Young Frankenstein has aged amazingly well.....Dialog is clear, John Morris' thematically appropriate score is well presented....much better than the SD scenes but is a bit clearer.....there are many memorable lines and performances that have been engrained in our cultural memory.....Partly due to parodying a genre that was already decades old but mainly because of solid comedic writing.... ...

This may be the perfect parody picture.....It is rare that a film can parody a classic picture....I may enjoy "Blazing Saddles" just a hair more than "Young Frankenstein....The film looks quite dated with the style of photography chosen by Brooks.....this is still among my favorite comedies..... ...

Young Frankenstein" is simply one of the great comedies. The cast and talent goes beyond Brooks and Wilder with "Young Frankenstein. Teri Garr was a sight to see in 1974 and is very nicely cast as the sexy lab assistant. ... Full Review

The photo galleries and outtakes from the film take us back to 1974 as the film is created to see not only how much fun the movie is but how much fun was had in making the film. The collection of behind the scenes and making of featurrettes are fantastic to watch as this classic film is created. ... Full Review

The greatest thing about Young Frankenstein is that it is a comedy without being a comedy. Young Frankenstein tries hard to make you laugh, but, unlike today's comedies, it does it so well you can't even tell. ... Full Review

Young Frankenstein" is a witty, cleverly crafted homage that never skips a beat and never lets up. It's a classic piece of irreverent comedy. He's always an amazing performer in whatever he does, but this is Wilder at his absolute finest. ... Full Review

Mel Brooks' crazy tribute to Mary Shelley's classic novel pokes hilarious fun at just about every Frankenstein movie ever made. Assisted by the hunchback Igor (Feldman) and the curvaceous Inga (Garr), he creates a monster (Boyle) who only wants to be loved. ... Full Review
