This was one of me and my dad's favorite movies to watch and laugh at together when I was a kid. I saw that it was on DVD and picked up a copy of him for his b-day and a copy for my personal collection. I didn't really check out the extras, so I can't comment on those, but there did seem to be a good bit of extras on the DVD like commentary, deleted scenes, and trailers. The quality of the movies itself was good and I'm so glad that I have this movie now.

Young Frankenstein
My husband made the remark he would love to have this
old DVD but doubted he would ever find it. I went into
Amazon, found it immediately, and it arrived in a very
short time, sooner than I expected and in very good
condition. The look on his face made my Christmas!!

Knee-slapping funny, every time.

I recently repurchased this movie on DVD after owning a VHS copy for years. What makes this movie a classic is that, 35 years later, people can still recall the most hilarious moments and lines in the movie, even if they haven't viewed it in years. A real strength is that something funny is going on in almost every frame of the movie, even if it is just something visible or going on the background. The quality of the supporting cast and the characters they play are outstanding: Marty Feldman's Igor, with the moveable hump, Cloris Leachman's dour Frau Blucher (and the equine terror raised in response to her name), Peter Boyle's Frankenstein (who can forget him dancing and singing to Putting on the Ritz?), and Gene Hackman's little gem of a cameo as the blind man. When DVD goes the way of VHS, I will buy this movie again in the new format.

This is one of Mel Brook's best. A great cast and is a staple in our household for Halloween. It can be watched many times and still make you laugh.
