2Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise, Madeline KahnA comedic romp through time, History of the World, Part I is a satirical film directed by Mel Brooks. This farcical cavalcade presents an irreverent look at human history from the Stone Age to the French Revolution. The narrative unfolds in episodic bursts, guided by the wry narration of Brooks himself. Notable performances include Madeline Kahn as Empress Nympho and Gregory Hines in his film debut as Josephus, a Roman slave. Clever, outrageous, and unabashedly silly, this movie offers a humorously skewed perspective on significant historical events and figures. Despite its title, there was never a Part II.- #201 of 399 onThe Best Movies Of The 1980s, Ranked
