Blazing Saddles is one of my fav films, and just been told that it was released 39 years ago today!! They certainly don't and can't make them like that any more....

Really 39 years ?

Still makes me laugh though and the scene around the camp fire is priceless

The Sherriff's a N.....o you can't make 'em like that anymore

Its true, its true!!!

Love that movie.

Kandy Gram for Mongo !

"I'm so taahrd, taahr dof pwaying de game, ain't it a cwying shame? I'm. So. Taahrd"

"I'd like some more beans Mr Taggart", "I think you've have enough!".

"What the hell is going on, this is a closed set!". "Screw you, ahm workin' fer Mel Brooks!".

"Little bastard shot me in the ass!"

Superb, still makes me laugh

It was on a few weeks ago, while i was flicking about, so i watched it AGAIN,

twas funny,

steve

Somebody's gotta go back and get a shitload o' dimes.

Quality, quality film.

Hedley Lamarr: My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Taggart: God darnit, Mr. Lamarr, you use your tongue prettier than a twenty dollar whore.

Picture the scene... me and my mate had gone to see Blazing Saddles in the first week it was shown in London... typical London audience, 1/3 white, 1/3 black, 1/3 asian...

Get to one of the very first bits of dialogue in the film...

"Hey boy, sing us a n*gg*r song!"

You could hear the outraged gasp across the cinema, and there's me thinking that there was about to be a riot...

...then 30 seconds later it was turned around 180 degrees and the whole audience were laughing their heads off!

Still watch that DVD every so often, and it still makes me laugh.

I've also got Young Frankenstein and Spaceballs. The first is brilliant, but my wife can't stand watching it, and the second is super-stupid (but still makes me laugh).

Total genius, we watched it again the other day too, then downloaded a whole load of other Mel Brooks films, The Producers OMG

Gene Wilder is one guy I would love to have partyed with back in the day, along with Richard Pryor of course!!

The Producers (original) ---I will never forget her indoors reaction when she changed the TV channel in came in right at the start of the "Springtime for Hitler" routine, she had never seen it before and it took her a couple of minutes to twig what was going on................

"Come along now be a smarty
come and join the Nazi party............................................."

"Springtime for Hitler and Germany
Goose-step's the new step today"
