Silly/Stupid/Fun Movies

What follows is my review of the movie Young Frankenstein, the first time I saw it in October of 2003.

Young Frankenstein is one of the most perfect comedy movies I have ever seen! It is superbly cast starring:

Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is masterful in his comic timing and delivery of his lines. The classroom scene is one of the best shticks I?ve seen in a long time. Just a side note: When I was in grade school, I played Dr. Frankenstein in a play where I called my creation by his nicknames of, sweetie pie? and ?snookums.?

There were two other reasons why it was perfect. It was my first time seeing it and at a brand new theater too, the AFI Silver in Silver Spring Maryland.

Fast Forward today 5/19/08. I watched some of the DVD's Special Features. They include:

A Wonderful 30-Minute Documentary on the Making of Young Frankenstein.

Very Amusing Mexican Interviews with Gene, Cloris and Marty.

Wonderful black and white stills from the movie.

Anything with Glenn Close in it, I am Ga-Ga over it. She can do no wrong in my book!

Hilarious in a boyish way.

This movie had some funny nice moments.

Top notch satire. Very Quirky. A very good Screwball comedy about relationships and The Cold War. Saw on PBS.

Another Top notch quirky, screwball, satire about the Cold War, which PBS has fallen madly in love with recently. Saw (4-19-08).

Film: What happens when A Russian submarine runs aground off the shores of small town America.

Any Warring nation should see this film!

Odd that this movie was marketed as a comedy. There are funny moments to be sure, but I would say it is more dramatic.
