The hard-to-find ones
On October 12, 2026, The Twelve Chairs, Young Frankenstein and Silent Movie had no subscription, free or digital-store listing that this guide counts. JustWatch tracks live-TV bundles and disc sales too, but those are left out here because they need a TV package or a physical copy; follow each title’s JustWatch link for the current picture.
High Anxiety and History of the World: Part I were rental only: no subscription or free home, but available to rent or buy from the main digital stores.
Blazing Saddles had no subscription home but could be streamed free with ads on YouTube.
Brooks on screen, and the regulars
Rotten Tomatoes credits Brooks as an actor in nine of the 11 films he directed; the exceptions are The Producers and Young Frankenstein. JustWatch lists him among the top three billed names for six of them, Silent Movie, High Anxiety, History of the World: Part I, Spaceballs, Life Stinks and Dracula: Dead and Loving It.
Some names come up again and again in JustWatch’s top-billed casts: Gene Wilder in three (The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein), Dom DeLuise in three (The Twelve Chairs, Silent Movie and History of the World: Part I), Madeline Kahn in two (High Anxiety and History of the World: Part I) and Marty Feldman in two (Young Frankenstein and Silent Movie).
By JustWatch’s runtimes, the longest is Young Frankenstein at 1 hr 48 min, the shortest Silent Movie at 1 hr 27 min, and all 11 together run about 17 hours.
The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs are good places to start. For what comes next for Spaceballs, see our explainer on when Spaceballs: The New One is coming out, and for a parody from another filmmaker, our piece on Galaxy Quest as both parody and tribute is a good next read.
