The supplied article promises to reveal the two films that persuaded Mel Brooks to move into what he called "the masterpiece business", framed around his remark that "America had lost the comedy cup". However, the provided text contains only the website's navigation menu and mailing-list prompts, with none of the actual article body included. As a result, the specifics of Brooks's claim and the two films in question cannot be summarised from the material given.

Beyond the headline, no details, quotes, names of the two movies, dates or supporting context were present in the text supplied. To produce an accurate summary, the full article content from Far Out Magazine would be needed. Any account of Brooks's reasoning drawn from the current text would be guesswork rather than a faithful reflection of the piece.
