Or another title? I personally would have a hard time picking one of the 3 I mentioned as #1 of the genre. Probably Caddyshack  

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

Caddyshack is one of my all-time favorites. I love Rodney Dangerfield :D

Caddyshack...."I think this club is restricted Wang, so don't tell them you're Jewish"
Blazing Saddles...."of course you'll have the decency, not to mention that I spoke to you"
Young Frankenstein...."Two nasty looking switches over here"

Caddyshack by far is the best of the three.

over rated.... as widely popular as it is how could it be over-rated?  

I will give you Stripes as well,  but not over Caddyshack or Animal House.

Caddyshack
Stripes
Animal House

And Stripes would be closer to Caddyshack if the last crap was cut out of the movie.

Caddyshack is very funny, as are the National Lampoon movies, but the genius of Mel Brooks and his ability to take on race relations, when "Blazing Saddles" was made, makes it a classic and is unique in comedy films.  No way that movie is made today.Blazing Saddles

Young Frankenstein
High Anxiety
Spaceballs

not really sure spaceballs fits in this conversation in terms of timeline... a decade is a long time,   caddyshack barely fits with the rest.

Damn, I love all three...but:

1.  Blazing Saddles.  Very little makes me laugh harder than watching racists being shown as the asshats they are.  "What's been happening in the clean world?"

2.  Young Frankenstein.  So classic, for so very many reasons.  "What knockers!"  "Oh, thank you doctor!"

3.  Caddyshack.  Only in last because one movie had to be.  "I was born to rub you...but you were born to rub me first".

I included Spaceballs as just another example of Brooks' parody skills.  But Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are innovative genius.
