Prairie Schidt!

If you think it was a "western" you have to be dumb.

It was a compilation of all the clammy cliches from every western made. Mel Brooks didn't miss one.

You must be young. whistle

Top 3 (*and arguably the Top 1) greatest comedy of all time. Cleavon Little and Gene Wilder were never better. There will never be another Mel Brooks and his movies, Blazing Saddles in particular, could never be reproduced today.

It's a horrible western though. laugh I'll agree with that.

Bud damn, if you can't LOVE Blazing Saddles then there's something wrong with you.

In the spirit of the movie,

Casting was horrible
Screenplay worse
Production sucked
Cinematography? Huh? is that what it's called
Score/music scenes could have been written by a tone deaf fourth grader

and who in hell directed that thing? I hope he never made any other movies.

I am NOT from HAVANA!

(*as a total aside, Madeline Kahn truly had an amazing voice. She did opera and was professionally trained and could run with the best. She turned to comedy but truly had the gift.)

If "The Ballad of Rock Ridge" isn't at least #3 on your playlist you have NO appreciation for great music. "I'm Too Tired"...well...maybe not so good as music, but the lyrics are pure poetry...from below and above.

What an embarrassing disclosure.
Blazing Saddles was,and is,one of the funniest movies ever made.
"They said you was hung... They was right." You could never get away
with the stuff Mel Brooks did back then, in these days. That's why it's so funny.

Wouldn't give it that much credit.

the old codger yelling from the bell tower still cracks me up. "The Sheriff is a Nig................"

I still have a copy on DVD, and watch it now and then when I get a belly full of political correctness

The film addressed the old question as to were that music came from when Count Bassie, and his orchestra were there.
