Blazing Saddles is not only a great spoof of westerns, but also a great commentary on racism and prejudice. You don't believe me? Ask Lilly Vonn Schtupp, she'll tell you it's twue!

Blazing Saddles and History of the World - Part 1
are the best Mel Brooks' folms IMO.

And who could forget "Piss-boy"?

Blazing Saddles remains one of the greatest films of all time.

"Somebody ride back to camp and get a sh*tload of dimes!"
"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." - PJ O'Rourke
_____________
"Men and women range themselves into three classes or orders of intelligence; you can tell the lowest class by their habit of always talking about persons; the next by the fact that their habit is always to converse about things; the highest by their preference for the discussion of ideas." - Charles Stewart
_____________
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." - James Madison

THis must be a first and a sign of the Apocalypse. To get to Mention Lily Von, in two seperate threads on the same day ?????

Either you have been awaiting this moment for a very long time <say desperate> or were just increduously lucky <go buy a lotto ticket >

But I too am a great admirer of these films, Men in Tights being the drawback .
Yes I guess we can all just get along !

Smurfy, simply Smurfy !!!

Blazing Saddles is definitely my favorite of them all.

"What's your crime?"

"Stampeding cattle."

"That's not much of a crime."

"Through the Vatican?"

"Kinky! Sign here."

I particularly enjoyed the campfire scene with all those cowboys eating beans. Very realistic portrayal.
