One of my favorites. Love that Michigan Rag! I'm a bit surprised at YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN.  |  IP: Logged William Hooper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1879 From: Mobile, AL USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-16-2003 11:56 PM                        I know one little boy who will have a very disappointing Christmas because SNACK CANYON wasn't added.  |  IP: Logged Phil Hill I love my cootie bug Posts: 7595 From: Hollywood, CA USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 12-17-2003 12:21 AM                  I'm surprised your surprised by "Young Frankenstein". It truely is a classic comedy that is well-known and liked world-wide. It's one of my all-time favorites and was happy to see it on the list. >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-17-2003 12:29 AM                     I'm also glad that Young Frankestien was added...or is that Young Fraaaankenstein.....? Till you've seen it with 500 other people that are rolling in the aisles I guess you might not understand. A true classic and the very best Mel Brooks! Thanks Marty, Gene, Mel, and Frau Blucher!!

I think YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is a great film. Not only great laughs, but it also has absolutely beautiful B/W cinematography, and terrific performances, especially Cloris Leachman. I think it is the most solid blending of the original film style with Mel Brooks' humor. I was surprised in that comedies like this usually are not given the recognition they deserve. Usually, the people that make these lists like to recognize the more serious pictures. I'm glad its on the list.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-17-2003 06:26 AM                     I'm more surprised by Atlantic City. I would have though Ordinary People would have been a better 1980 choice (or is it already on the list)...neither are favorites of mine but Ordinary People was quite popular...Being There is another one.
