Just got done watching “Paint Your Wagon”. Before that was “Planet Of The Apes” with Chuck Heston.
I’m a sucker for Westerns and Classics.

Blazing Saddles is good, as is most of Mel Brooks' work as the parody is often on purpose.
I am generally not a fan of movies from the 60s, 70s and much of the 80s. Often the acting and most often the resolution, or at least small parts of the plot are terrible.

If some of these classify as old movies, "Debbie Does Dallas" is 42 years old as of last month. Debbie herself is even older...

One time I watched "Blazing Saddles" in the company of my wife and a woman friend of ours. While I was rolling on the floor laughing, they kept asking "What's supposed to be funny about that?".

Made the twelve year old sit down with me and watch "Captains Courageous". She is a good sport about that.

Tough to argue. Some of the best movies made were in the 90’s Showgirls Striptease Batman and Robin The Island Of Dr Moreau The Postman Wild Wild West
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

Just watched Blazing Saddles.
Gene Wilder played the part of The Waco Kid. Fastest gun on earth. Said he had killed more men than Cecil B. Demille. LMAO!
It’s worth seeing twice. It was on here 2 hours ago....... I’m tired.

,...and Larry McMurtry is now married to the widow of Ken Kesey. McMurtry wrote the Paul Newman movie, Hud also, as well as several others. It's based on his book, Horseman Pass By. Texasville is the sequel to The Last Picture Show. The same people are in it. The sequel to Lonesome Dove is Streets of Laredo with James Garner as Call and Sissy Spacek as Lorena. Ned Beatty plays Judge Roy Bean and it features Randy Quaid of Christmas Vacation as John Wesley Hardin. There is another sequel to Lonesome Dove called, Return to Lonesome Dove. It's different and stars John Voight as Call. McMurtry had nothing to do with it whereas he wrote Streets of Laredo. He also wrote prequels to Lonesome Dove, Dead man's Walk and Comanche Moon. Both were turned into mini-series like Lonesome Dove and Streets of Laredo.

It’s worth seeing twice. I had a job at a gov aerospace subcontractor. They needed ~ 100 signatures from 3 engineers every morning on drawing changes. We walked in a circle around a table signing our name a date to each form while the head of drafting put them down and picked them up like playing cards. I signed thousands of documents about missiles and fighter jets, and I never read a word of them once. This was just like Mel Brooks as Gov Lepetomane signing documents like a machine.
