Summary: Hilarious, Mel Brooks classic comedy
Review: This classic comedy takes you from the beginning up to Hitler. Mel Brooks has all of his raunchy jokes, his sight gags, his witty songs, and his spoofs of other films. Also stars Gregory Hines, Dom DeLuise, Madeline Kahn, Harvey Korman, Cloris Leachman, Ron Carey, Sid Caesar, Howard Morris, Barry Levinson, and narrated by Orson Welles.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: History of the World - Pt. I
Review: One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Although not recognized as such, I would consider this flick to be on of Mel Brook's greatest hits. The "Last Supper" scene is, in my opinion, one of the top 3 comedy scenes of all time. One of the few scenes that I can watch over and over and roll off the couch laughing.

One negative aspect of the movie is the end scene ("The French Revolution") does move slower than the rest of the movie. As a matter of fact, it seems that the movie gently declines in terms of comedy. (The first half is the best.) But don't let that sway you from purchasing this movie, because it's a great laugh-fest!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: I keep praying for "History of the World part 2".
Review: This is Definately one of Brook's best. It's the American "Life of Brian". (though Brian is a Teeny Tiny microscopic bit better)The film opens with the stone age, which is in my opinion the worst section. the rest of the film is a riot. The musical version of the spanish inquisition, The Caesars palace scene (Dom Deluise does the funniest cameo since Blazing Saddles) and the game of Human Chess are the Highlights. (OH, and of course the Ten Commandments scene)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty Dang Funny!
Review: This is a very funny movie. It has three main stories and two short summaries. It starts out with masturbating Homo sapiens and ends with a preview of History of the World Pt.2. Mel brooks is in all of the main stories as the star. It also stars Dom Deluise as Julius Ceaser, Gregory Hines as an Etheopian Showman, Orsan Wells as the narrator, Jackie Mason as a Jew suffering in the Spanish Inquisition, Sid Ceasar as a gay caveman, and many more. This is a great movie for people who know alot about the History of THe World.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS WAS A COMIC MASTERPIECE!
Review: This has classic written all over it. The script was no doubt Mel Brooks' best since Blazing Saddles. If you liked that movie, you'll love this one. Add this sensational film to your collection. You won't be sorry. As the saying goes, "Siktranzitgloria." "I didn't know Gloria was sick." Check this film out; you'll be laughing till your sides split. Trust me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BROOKS' BEST!
Review: One of the funniest movies I've ever seen! My personal favorite by Mel Brooks. This is the kind of movie the public has come to expect from Brooks. Vulgar,silly,and competely irrelevant! The gags never let up! My favorite is the song and dance routine in the Spanish Inquisition! A must have for anyone who like Brooks! Or just likes to laughs!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Exelent
Review: In my personal opinion this is the greatest work of comedy ever to grace the silver screen. It's just perfect. It's not to hard to get, but it's not stupid. It makes fun of everything you leared in school, such as: Cave times, the roman empire, the ten commandments, the spanish inquisition, and the french revolution. You'll laugh your pants off.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Funnier each time!
Review: This movie gets funnier and funnier each time. I am always laughing to hard that I miss half of what is going on. Mel Brooks is a comic genius! At the end of the VHS version there are coming arttractions for a Pt 2 which was never made--unfortunately. If you like this movie try these...Spaceballs, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful
Review: This is one of the funniest movies I have EVER seen, Mel Brook's really outdid himself in this one. If you like this also look for Robin Hood: Men In Tights, and Blazing Saddles.
