Very funny and, in my opinion, a very underrated comedy. Probably a notch below Mel Brooks's best comedies like Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, but not by much.

Brooks stars as more of the straight man in this movie, but he is very funny in the lounge singer and airport scenes. Cloris Leachman, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and even Ron Carey are hilarious. Very funny turns by Howard Morris and Barry Levinson as well.

I never get tired of watching High Anxiety and I laugh every time.

I got it. I got it. I ain't got it. I've never re-watched this movie (unusual for me and a Mel Brooks movie) but we use that quote in my household on a fairly regular basis.

I actually saw this in the theater when it came out. A great comedic look at Hitchcock. The Birds scene was hilarious.
