Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man! (2026)

Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio's two-part HBO documentary sits Mel Brooks down for long interviews and lets him tell it: from writing for live television to The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein, with plenty of archive footage in between. This is the warmest film here and one of the funniest, because Brooks is still a performer in every answer. It also has quieter stretches on self-doubt and his marriage to Anne Bancroft, which give the gags weight. Ideal for anyone who wants comedy history told by someone who lived most of it.
