I don't think too many people can dispute that Mel Brooks has captured some of the funniest and memorable moments in parody form, especially in the film medium. Even some of his weaker films still have some huge laughs, but my choice was narrowed down to the film that I felt was relentless through it's entirety and didn't have too many poor moments. The rest of the films are still strong at times, maybe with the exception of DRACULA: DEAD AND LOVING IT, but have moments where the momentum gets deflated a bit, I find myself feeling the same way during Woody Allen movies. An example that I can think of as far as comparison-sake would be the film SMALL TIME CROOKS by Allen....some REALLY funny moments, but the entire result is uneven and the super funny moments can't really keep the entire film afloat. Another thing that can be said of Mel Brooks is that he keeps his comedies to around 90-minutes, which is the perfect length for a comedy. Quite honestly anything longer than that gets tiring and a good comedy should be able to keep people laughing for 90-minutes, which by that point you should be exhausted from laughter. His one film YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN runs about 104 minutes and I think it tends to lose steam. Even those few extras minutes can be just enough to make a film seem lengthy and you begin to get restless with the material.
