1. Blazing Saddles.
I will never, ever, EVER get tired of that movie. One of my favorite movies of all time!

8. In 1980,
I was in a hospital, in a private room, in traction after a plane crash. And cable TV was in its infancy. But there was one station that, for some reason, showed "Blazing Saddles" over and over, around the clock.

I was packed full of painkillers and muscle relaxants, and had no roommate to worry about.

I'll bet you I saw that movie at least a hundred times during the month I was there.

And, even today, owning the DVD, I still drop everything whenever it's on TV.

The absolute best EVER!

That's some classical shit right there.

And you couldn't even make "Blazing Saddles" because of the PC crap nowadays. That's my opinion and get off my lawn.

13. Definitely The Producers
Zero Mostel was a comic genius, Gene Wilder the perfect straight man. And of course, the hysterical Dick Shawn as "LSD"!
