Young Frankenstein (1974)

This was one of my favourite early comedies but having just re-watched it I realize it falls apart after the famous musical number and has a fairly lack luster ending.

Young Frankenstein (1974)

The definition of a comedy classic. Young Frankenstein is highly quotable, filled with some delightful visual gags, and easily one of the best genre parodies of all time. So silly, yet so good.
