I will be VERY upset if they don’t do the “Jews in Space” but. The song was particularly fun.

Considering this is Mel Brooks, I expect a classic “mock everyone” extravaganza of fun.

I noticed that my enjoyment of Mel's humor diminished with age (Blazing Saddles is still among my top 5 comedies, but still...)

Funny you mention that, dk62. I am about to finish reading Mel Brooks' Autobiography All About Me (meh) and over the past week - usually as I finish the relevant chapter - I've been re-watching the movies. Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein hold up pretty well. Couldn't find The Producers streaming anywhere. Didn't even bother with Silent Movie or High Anxiety, and the most recent one was History of the World Part 1. With the exception of the one scene I was familiar with about the ten commandments, I don't believe I cracked a grin.

My kids loved Spaceballs, and since I've never seen a Star Wars film, I'll give that a pass, but they say it was good. Even now as adults.
