Brooks almost at his finest!

Not Brooks best, but I'd say his 3rd best, just after Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein.

The film follows Brooks character, a moviemaker with an original idea, a new silent movie with some of the biggest stars of the 70s. The film is mainly based around hiring the cast and saving the studio from being bought by an evil conglomerate.

Despite the movie being completely silent apart from a single word, the jokes in the title cards are hilarious, and the return of traditional slapstick comedy is somehow very comforting.

The cast is what really makes this film. The comedic talents of Mel Brooks, Dom Deluise, Marty Feldman and Sid Caesar are brilliant, with hilarious cameos from 70s stars Burt Reynolds, Paul Newman, Marcel Marceau and Liza Minelli, this film is perfect for the whole family!

Angel Olsen recommended Sunset Boulevard (1950) in Movies (curated)

"Watching silent films and seeing how difficult it was to come across without actually voicing stuff was such a different process. Then I started to think about Sunset Boulevard. It's a movie about an old silent movie actress who lives in the Hills on Sunset Boulevard in L.A. and she has a butler and this guy who's having a little bit of trouble. She's just nuts and alone — similarly like Cleo [in 5 to 7] — talking about how she used to be the number-one film actress. She's so desperate to get this man to stay and be her partner. He's so much younger than her. This movie is so insane. I was thinking about that when I made the video for "All Mirrors." The staircase and the grandiose Art Deco feel of that is very related to the isolated feeling the woman has in Sunset Boulevard."

Now this how you do a film about religion, this film manages to carry a message and ask difficult questions whilst being as funny as hell.
It's very smart and intriguing and having Jay and Silent Bob alongside Damon and Affleck who are all on the top of their game making for a fantastic ensemble cast that also includes Alan Rickman on fine form.
