For contemporary audiences, Mel Brooks shares a lot in common with filmmakers like the Zucker brothers: he’s a guy who pioneered a lot of the conventions of modern parody who may or may not quite still be relevant. In other words, his influence is undeniable; but the longevity of his body of work? Not quite as assured. Brooks’ films are definitely not 100 percent consistent (it should tell you something that Dracula: Dead and Loving It and Life Stinks never seem to find their way into his home-video boxed sets), but the ones that hold up are truly great: Young Frankenstein , Silent Movie , and Blazing Saddles still have viewers in stitches, and many others from that time, including To Be or Not To Be, Spaceballs , and High Anxiety , still hold special places in the hearts of their fans.
