Mel Brooks definitely runs hot and cold for me too... Spaceballs, for example, I think the parts are greater than its whole (the Alien scene being amazing)... History of the World I really don't think is that great with the exception of The Inquisition musical (mwahahaha) and the fake trailers (HITLER ON ICE!!) - I remember loving Silent Movie when I was little and I REALLY need to see High Anxiety.
Back to the topic of Frankenstein movies... Question for you folks... Do you consider The Golem tale and movies to be analogous to the Frankenstein mythos? What makes me think about it is mainly the Monster being the downfall of the Creator, so maybe that's too simplistic...
