It was made 8 years before I was born but its one of my favorite movies (It even has a 94% on RT!). Its not one of my favorite comedies but one of my favorite films in general due to the play-it-straight comedy that Wilder and Brooks went for. I can't imagine it cost much at all to make judging by the lack of location shooting. If you can recall the lines from the screen caps you are my friend. And if anyone can explain the exchange between Dr Frankensteen and the boy at the train station please explain the joke to me. To this day I still dont get his reaction to "Want a shine?"

I can support this thread. Gene Wilder is/was among my favorite actors of all time

One of my all time favorites!!

I use this film as an example of behavior not to engage in at work. I refer to it as Young Frankenstein Syndrome. Anytime an employee makes a statement like "Man, can this day get any worse?" or simliar I panic and remind them of Young Frankenstein.

Saw it for the first time two years ago and what a great movie it is!!!

Well, Mel Brooks likes it a lot. He's apparently described it as his favorite among his works.

A non-equity tour of the stage adaptation is currently touring. It's not as good as the movie, but it's got a nice score.

For what we are about to see next, we must enter quietly into the realm of genius.

Let us not forget Madeline Kahn. Had the hugest crush on her.

It could be worser...er..if it started raining before they got the coffin out of the hole

Young Frankenstein is one of those films that gets better with each viewing. There is so much going on in it that it takes several times for it all to sink in, and almost every time there is something new discovered.

Plasmid · Feb 2, 2012

Great film, hilarious in all aspects. I've got a copy lying in my closet somewhere.

From the song "Chattanooga Choo Choo" by Glenn Miller

Pardon me, boy
Is that the Chattanooga choo choo?
Track twenty-nine
Boy, you can gimme a shine

CrunchyFrog · Feb 2, 2012

Mel Brooks was a genius at incorporating that naive childish slapstick kind of humor and still making it funny for adult audiences. It's screwball comedies like his and Naked Gun that I do dearly miss in this day and age.

"How many times have I TOLD you not to interrupt me when IM WORKING?!

New this was a favourite, when I was a little tootsie, long before I understood it at all. When I grew up again I watched it again and suddenly so much more made sense to me. Awesome film _b

Haha, excellent. Thanks. I just thought the boy's accent sounded funny.

Bingo. As a pre-teen, it was funny. As an adult, it is so much more

Stay close to ze candles. Ze staircase cannn be treacherous.

(Just wrapping up the OP quotes.)

Anyway, an underquoted exchange:

"I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him, the things he'd say to me."
"Oh? What did he say?"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE BATHROOM ALL DAY AND NIGHT?? GET OUT OF THERE AND GIVE SOMEONE ELSE A CHANCE!"

Such a great movie, too bad so many of them in it are gone now.....

Clydefrog · Feb 2, 2012

Let me out. Let me out of here. Get me the hell out of here. What's the matter with you people? I was joking! Don't you know a joke when you hear one? HA-HA-HA-HA. Jesus Christ, get me out of here! Open this goddamn door or I'll kick your rotten heads in! Mommy!

zomaha · Feb 2, 2012

One of my favorites ever.

"He would have an enormous schwanzstucker"
"...that goes without saying."

kingofthedead45 · Feb 2, 2012

Saw this movie a couple days ago on netflix with a couple of friends. I can get behind this kind of humor in a movie. It was enjoyable for sure

Alaskanbullworm · Feb 2, 2012

"Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags?"

"Coitainly, you take the blonde, I'll take the one in the toiban."

In fact that whole scene was brilliant. Gene's hushing sound is done all of the time within my family as well as SEDAGIVE?!?!

Igor: You know, I'll never forget my old dad. When these things would happen to him... the things he'd say to me.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What did he say?
Igor: "What the hell are you doing in the bathroom day and night? Why don't you get out of there and give someone else a chance?"

the chris · Feb 2, 2012

Inga: Werewolf!
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Werewolf?
Igor: There.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: What?
Igor: There, wolf. There, castle.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Why are you talking that way?
Igor: I thought you wanted to.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: No, I don't want to.
Igor: [shrugs] Suit yourself. I'm easy.

Fun trivia fact: Hackman ad libbed "I was gonna make espresso!"

(Fun trivia fact you already knew: that was Gene Hackman)

AwesomeSauce · Feb 2, 2012

Love this movie so much.

Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: You know, I'm a rather brilliant surgeon. Perhaps I can help you with that hump.
Igor: What hump?

Darkmakaimura · Feb 2, 2012

One of Mel's best movies, without a doubt. I've seen it so many times but the most recent, which was at a Halloween party last year, was the best experience I've had with this movie yet. Everyone was really getting into it and enjoying it. One guy who was already quite familiar with the film was laughing so hysterically throughout the whole movie.

Mushroom021 · Feb 2, 2012

Its a favorite of my boyfriends, still havent seen the whole thing yet but what I saw was pretty good.

Mikey Jr. · Feb 2, 2012

I love that movie "Young Frankenstein"... scared the hell out of me.

Risible · Feb 2, 2012

Terri Garr is SO. FUCKING. HOT. in that movie. Like holy shit hot.

Strange that Marty Feldman died from something as bizarre as shellfish.

I know. And she does like taking rolls in the hay.

But you take the blonde. I'll take the one in the turban!

This film does remind me of one thing, Gene Hackman is fucking hysterical.

Gene Wilder is great, but most of the jokes are so campy and corny I can't watch it without writhing in pain.
