Filmed on the set of the original Frankenstein [or Fron-ken-steen?], Young Frankenstein is the original satire on the horror genre. With recurring gags, comic stereotypes and innuendo, the film has all the makings of a classic comedy. The last twist comes with perhaps the best joke of entire film [a heavily contested title] - though I will give no more away if you haven't seen it yet - in which case, what are you waiting for?
