High Anxiety (1977)
7/10
Funky spoof is really fun - esp. if you've been there!

For people who don't like Mel Brooks a lot, this might be an exception. It is one of mine (along with Silent Movie).

Brooks takes a poke at psychiatry that must make you laugh, especially if you have been through some of the action yourself. ... has some of the usual Brooks "slapschtik" but with an air of seriousness and bit of the later Peter Sellers cleverness. Definetely a cult movie. Did you like "Harold and Maude" and "Being There?" Then You will probably like this.

And then of course there is "The Bird(s)" scene. (See it if only for that!)

Who else could do this - and so well. I guess it's MEL.
