Voted for Young Frankenstein as it contains a section with Gene Hackman (as the violin playing blind hermit) which is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. For me Mel Brooks produced great comedy up to High Anxiety and thereafter descended into puerile opportunism.

My wife got me a box set of 8 a while back.  No Spaceballs or Dracula in it.  I just finished  The 12 Chairs.  I think dreadful is the best description.  I'm giving History a spin.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Blazing Saddles for me.It's hard to pick just one favorite because I like so many of his films.

I'm afraid I agree, some of his later flicks are painful-- and I wonder how many realize Gene Wilder wrote much if not most of Young Frankenstein, though Mel Brooks seemed determined to obscure that.  Seems Brooks was a man starved for good material and when the good ideas ran out, he just kept producing.   The other Sid Caesar 'Writers Room' clan seemed not to have that problem; Neil Simon, Woody Allen, Larry Gelbart.

Hmmm, I can't choose between Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. I'll give it to Young Frankenstein because it has lower votes than Blazing.

Blazing Saddles for pure impact, but Young Frankenstein can creep up on me. 

Where all da white women at?!

No contest "Blazing Saddles", but "History of The World, Part I" must be acknowledged.
