Young Frankenstein is my all time favorite comedy

It just has the right mix situational and sarcastic humor. I usually re-watch it every couple of years. Gene Wilder is just so good in that role.

Wilder also came up with the idea for the movie and wrote the first draft of the screenplay: http://www.screenplay.com/downloads/scripts/youngfrankenstei...

I did not know that, it's interesting to know. However, Mel Brooks did direct it, and I wonder how genius it would have been without his direction.
