I love the humor of the Mel Brooks and (early) Woody Allen movies, so I tried to google similar directors using Mel and Woody as keywords, and found this course at the University of Cambridge, no less!
> You think The Producers is hilarious? Or do you think: "well, talk about bad taste!". Maybe you think that* Annie Hall is Woody Allen's greatest film, or Manhattan, *or Zelig, or Crimes and Misdemeanor\s...? Very different in their comedy personae, Woody and Mel both started their professional careers writing for Sid Caesar in the 1950s. Both Jewish New Yorkers were from immigrant families but their humour crossed into and then influenced the mainstream. Let's find out how, and why...
I thought that was cool and thought y'all might agree.
The question remains: Given that I like the Mel and Woody movies, are there similar directors whose movies I might enjoy?
