I’ll return tommorow with another one like the other one

Absolutely one of the absolute best movies ever produced. Put it up on the list with: Young Frankenstein (also Mel Brooks) and Animal House.

All three, BTW, products of the 1970's.

If you haven't seen it - go.
If you have seen it, but the 'cut' version on television - go.
If you have seen it, in its original form, go see it again.

Myself, I saw it when it first came out in the summer of 1974. True, it was released earlier that year, but living in a small town in east Mississippi, it took a while for new releases to get to our small theaters. (Yes, Virginia, there was a time when it took a while for a movie to show up in your local theater, and it didn't come up later on any of the three television channels either.)

Fantastic movie - the trailer here does not do it proper service.

Hey, my Blues’ Brothers reference was valid. The restaurant scene is classic, just like the one you reference in Blazing Saddles (but both have sooooo much comedy). Plz publish both my posts.

OK, maybe I get the first post published now. It’s near past bedtime.

It was funny when I was 20. A man's sense of humor ages, though; what's funny at 10 isn't very funny anymore. At 30, what was funny at 20 isn't quite so funny and looking back at 10, that isn't funny at all anymore. This movie is typical, ham-handed Mel Brooks Kaminsky. I grew up; Mel never has.

All right @8:59PM, you are not fun anymore, nor are you funny. Mel Brooks is a satirical genious. You wouldn’t recognize the applicability of Animal Farm to today’s world either. Because that was in your twenties.

Like Animal House, Blazing Saddles should have swept the Academy Awards the year it came out.

Oh yes I can just imagine KF on the front row mouth agape, guffawing like a jackass!

The whole movie was hilarious right up until the ending, which was just stupid.

I hope they include the ORIGINAL campfire scene audio.

As we all age and times change, it becomes increasingly unlikely even if it were ever likely, and I am well past my 20s...and 30s...and 40s... but I would still love to see a remake of Blazing Saddles by Matt Stone and Trey Parker (South Park, The Book of Mormon, etc.). A healthy and mature sense of humor begins at home - if you cannot make fun of and laugh at yourself, you should not be making fun of nor laughing at others. There is a sure-fire way to deal with movies, music, commentary, etc. that one does not like - don't buy tickets, listen to, or read it.

I would say Django Unchained is today's Blazing Saddles.

Baby, please, I'm not from Havana.

Madeline Kahn's song I'm Tired is classic. All of the Johnsons. When The Kid is questioned on how fast he draws and the next shot he says "Want to see it again?" Forever a funny movie. Essentially it offends everyone so not discriminatory at all.
