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.
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
The 90s had some doozies too, no doubt.
My beef with the resolutions are with things like Roadhouse, which seemed common in movies from these decades. The three guys who had been wronged all sneak in and each get some vengeance by each hitting the criminal mastermind with shotgun blasts, while everyone else dies from single bullets to the arms. Then the police show up at the exact same time. The suspense music was bad as well. It was all meant to be serious, but was awful.
Blazing Saddles, like Married with Children, was meant to be corny. That's why I like them.

Two Lane Blacktop with Dennis Wilson (Beach Boys), James Taylor (the singer) and Warren Oats. Not a ton of dialog, but it definitely takes you back to a different time and era.

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?".
Back in the early days of blockbuster, my wife at the time and I were visiting another couple and we all decided to rent one movie each from the local video store.........I rented a 3 episode tape of classic Amos n Andy.........they were not amused.......all relationships eventually dissolved.
I recorded "The Best Years of Our Lives" from TCM on Veteran's Day and watched it yesterday. It had been a while since I last watched it. What a great movie!!
YES! I was 8 years when my relation came home from the War. So my memories of the War are much the same.

“In Trump We Trust.” Right????
SOMEBODY please tell TRH that Netanyahu NEVER said "Once we squeeze all we can out of the United States, it can dry up and blow away."
Hellfighters with J Wayne is a classic as is comes a horseman even tho it has "her" in it,, still a good movie an I also liked the original Planet of the apes
Not a big fan of colorizing old movies just for the sake of colorizing them, like colorizing Casablanca, but applying modern technology to the older, grainy and jerky movies really bring those people to life. "They'll Never Grow Old" was a terrific achievement and that treatment works well for a lot of older films created by hand cranked cameras.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
Once upon a time in the West The Good The Bad and the Ugly ( a movie that damned Deflave made me watch through a different scope than I had previously) High Plains Drifter Pale Rider Unforgiven
There are two movies that I have seen firsthand that will capture the attention of 12 year olds - people in their 70's and 80's.
One of them, is The African Queen.
Another great one from C.S. Forester. A feller could get by pretty well with a collection of his books, H. Ryder Haggard, Elmore Leonard, Kipling, Camilleri, Burroughs, Rex Stout, and some Thorne Smith thrown in for laughs.
Best thing about old movies is everybody in them is dead and not tripping all over themselves trying to be the biggest jackass in the world on the internet, or selling reverse mortgages.
