Fun Movie Friday–Young Frankenstein

This is probably a rerun, but Joe over at Fat in Indiana put up a small clip a couple of days ago.  This is one of my top five movies, ever.  I know all of the speeches, down to verbal inflection.  I have probably seen it upwards of 200 times.  Frickin’ brilliant from start to finish.  Peter Boyle had all of 6 or 7 spoken lines and managed to pull off all of The Creature’s emotions perfectly.  It’s my understanding that Gene Wilder had to fight for the dance scene.  

I now present to you, some favorite scenes.  Of course I love the whole thing so it was hard to pare them down to a few.  They are not in order as they are shown in the movie.

It was years before I knew this was Gene Hackman.
My mom’s favorite scene. I always laugh.

  7. In my dvd they have some backstory and they said that Marty Feldman had been switching his hump for days before anybody noticed it, so they put that in the movie. Such a great movie.

  8. Mel Brooks could never make a picture these days. He'd end up being run out of HollyWeed on a rail.
