![History of the World Part 1 [VHS]](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_uNLssmC72SZxTWknXB89iITzyF4tKNBGWu2UjV7dcROvVhjDv-ndrQDUjVj8-LIRDZqkfAYzXRu9znYHgaETID3x_uryvkAWwOJHvex7tt6i1beFG8h5M7=s0-d)
Mel Brooks's 1981, three-part comedy--set in the Stone Age, the Roman Empire, and the French Revolution--is pure guilty pleasure. Narrated by Orson Welles and featuring a lot of famous faces in guest appearances (beyond the official cast), the film opens well with Sid Caesar playing a caveman, then moves along to the unlikely but somehow hilarious juxtaposition of Caesar's soldiers (the other Caesar, not Sid) with pot humor, and ends on a dumb-funny note in the French bloodbath. This is a take-it-or-leave-it movie, and it works best if you're in a take-it-or-leave-it mood.
