I recommend To Be Or Not To Be as a lesser known gem by him.

Great talent and enjoying a long, productive life from the looks of it.
Last time I saw him being interviewed, he was still mentally sharp and looking spry.

I'm probably the only one, but High Anxiety is my favorite movie. I quote it with my friends all the time. Probably too silly for most, but I love that movie so much.

I like High Anxiety but some of it only hits if you have seen the right Hitchcock films.

The 99 year old man documentary on HBO is awesome. Mel is one of my favorite comedy move makers of all time. He was a trailblazer and is irreplaceable. I wish we had another younger version of him to continue to make movies in his style.
I hope Spaceballs 2 is good. I’ll see it just because, but will be cautiously optimistic.
