          YF was great, but Blazing was Brooks' magnum opus. Better paced, stronger theme, more funny set pieces and characters.

          And Kahn taking off Marlene Dietrich? Comic gold.

                YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN...as a horror buff, I'm a bit biased on this one.

                  So much closer than the Vertigo/Rear Window poll (where Rear Window is clearly the superior film).

                  I'll have to go with BLAZING SADDLES.

                  Both films are classic masterpieces of comedic genius, but Blazing Saddles is more consistently hilarious. Young Frankenstein has a few too many (forgive the pun) "dead" moments and jokes that don't work too well on repeat viewings. The creativity and fearlessness in Saddles gives it some bonus points, where as Frankenstein mostly plays it safe and doesn't present us with anything but a very funny spoof of the classic Mary Shelley story.

                    YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN is clearly the superior film.
