Blazing Saddles is the funniest movie. Mel Brooks got away with such funny gags....they'd be labeling him Racist and not allow it today! Thanks for the laugh.
Admiral, as I remember it, racism regards blacks was about dead in the 1970's.
Well, they will, but it won't be in our lifetime.
As for Cleavon Little, I can't answer. He was great in it and came out on top at the end as far as the story line went, so I think there may have been some satisfaction in that.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the laugh.
Bunni, imo this is the funniest movie ever made.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a chuckle.
#2 is Animal House.
#3 is 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'
;-)
Hilarious! Thanks for the much needed laugh.
ReplyDeleteGotta put Caddyshack right up there on the top of the funniest list...
Classic, I love seeing people hit with a shovel.
ReplyDeleteWe have lost a lot of our thick skin through the PC "movement" and it is a sad thing.
ReplyDeleteThey will not ever make a movie like that again.
It is a great movie and I wonder if it bothered Clevon Little when he made it.
Call me a wet blanket, a stick in the mud, a bucket of cold water: Mel Brookes and I don't see eye to eye when it comes to comedy.
ReplyDeleteA bunch of cowboys sitting around a campfire farting just doesn't tickle the ol' funny bone, sorry.
If I wanted to hear poop jokes (or a whole movie centered around poop jokes), I would just hang around my daughter's 2nd grade buddies all day.
Now 'The Producers,' THAT was funny. Or 'A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,', anything with Zero Mostel.
And I would wager that "Spring Time for Hitler" would play well on Broadway these days.
Soloman, Caddyshack is great and is up there in the top section of the top ten.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been even better with someone besides Chevy Chase. Never found the dude to be funny or have the slightest imagination.
Trestin, I love the sound it makes !
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it would sound like bouncing off a democrat politician ? Not that I'd ever try it out.
Cause I'm a peace lover.

Fredd, Not a problem. This is why we don't all wear the same clothes and chase after the same woman.
ReplyDeleteI'll go along on the farting scene, it was probably some of the weakest part of the movie. But I won't hold that against it.
I like it mainly because it offends as many people and groups of people as possible in a single movie.
Paint Your Wagon. Nuff said.
ReplyDeleteThey Say, the Lee Marvin's were good.
ReplyDeleteI was talking about the movie as a whole-not about the actors. That movie was before Blazing Saddles.
ReplyDeleteSo funny, and so politically incorrect.
