Mel Brooks

In no particular order:

Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
To Be Or Not To Be
The Producers
History Of The World Part One
Spaceballs
 
The Producers is probably his best film, but Young Frankenstein is my favourite.
Blazing Saddles is good, High Anxiety has some funny moments, Silent Movie has some funny moments, History of the World Part 1 is awful. That's all I've seen apart from a small clip from Space Balls, which looked pretty bad.

But I'm eternally grateful to him for getting David Cronenberg's The Fly and David Lynch's The Elephant Man made.
 
I've only seen Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, History of the World Part I and Spaceballs, but they were all good.

I do own the remake of The Producers. Never had a chance to watch it though.
 
Although he didn't direct the musical remake of The Producers - that is my favourite. The storyline is hilarious, the characters, the songs; everything is just brilliant.

I also love Young Frankenstein. Igor steals the show for me..."Call it a hunch...BA BOOM CHI" :p

Spaceballs and Blazin Saddles are also very funny. History of the World was average but 'The Spanish Inquisition' scene is just something else! :p
 
Blazing Saddles obviously, but Silent Movie must be up there for having the only worRAB in it being spoken by Marcel Marceau. For that alone it has to be classed as brilliant, but the "fly in the soup" is probably the best laugh out loud moment I've seen in any film (so obvious it was coming, that an entire cinema burst out laughing).
