High Anxiety (1977)

High Anxiety

One of the funniest Mel Brooks movies ever. The take-off on Psycho is one of the best scenes in the film. My copy arrived quickly and in good order so I am totally pleased with everything. June 15, 2008

consider me insane!!!

after watching this movie, i find it ridiculously hard to believe anyone couldn't find this movie funny. From beginning to the end, the Hitchock spoofs were hilarious. So many funny little odities in the movie make it worth watching over and over, just because you find other funny things each time. From the suspenseful background movie music thats actually a orchestra passing in a bus to the patient at the Psychoneurotic Institute for the Very, Very Nervous with the werewolf nightmares. This movie will make you laugh over and over. If it doesn't, you are TOO serious. June 5, 2008

Mel spoofs Hitch--and gets crapped on by pigeons for his effort

Very little that is funny or works here. Loved The Producers, though (1968 original version.)

Sorry, Mel. I know, comedy is tough to do. If it makes you feel any better, I think Sir Alfred is waaay
overrated. May 24, 2008

Very Subtle If You Didn't See Hitchcock Films

I frequently give this movie as a gift.....That's the case this time. If people have seen "The Birds", "North by Northwest" or "Vertigo" they get it and are rolling in the aisles. If they don't know Alfred's work, they just don't get it. May 3, 2008

The women steal High Anxiety

Now 30 years old, this movie didn't make me laugh as much this time as it did when I first saw it so many years ago. The women, especially Cloris Leachman as the evil head nurse and Madeline Kahn as the love interest, steal the show. Of course, Alfred Hitchcock deserves some credit, too. And this movie is still one of Mel Brooks' best. February 27, 2008
