ParanoidObsessive posted... Not a huge fan of comedies that pre-date me, but Mel Brooks had some of his best movies in the early 70s (Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are obvious for most people, but I'm a fan of Silent Movie as well). And I'm a huge fan of Murder By Death (1976).
Monty Python would fall into that category as well - the TV show is late 60s/early 70s, and Holy Grail pre-dates me, though Life of Brian and Meaning of Life (which I consider better than Holy Grail) came out after I was born.
Life of Brian and Meaning of Life
are superior to Holy Grail.
Also, Mel Brooks' movies, while all are varying levels of good, definitely peaked in the 70s.
