Young Frankenstein.
Directed by comedy legend Mel Brooks, the film is a satirical homage to the classic 1930s Universal horror movies, specifically James Whale's Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein. To capture the authentic gothic feel, Brooks shot the entire film in black and white and even used some of the original lab equipment props from the 1931 Frankenstein.
