Young Frankenstein
Black-and-white photography, creepy castles, mad science—and a comedy that commits so hard to the look of classic monster movies that the parody becomes part tribute. Young Frankenstein has a different weapon than the louder movies in this league: atmosphere. It looks and feels like the movies it’s playing with, then lets the absurdity loose inside them. That makes Blazing Saddles the obvious grudge match, but Spaceballs creates another brutal Brooks-on-Brooks decision. Does the monster movie send the western and the space opera back to the laboratory? Put Young Frankenstein head-to-head and decide.
