There are some who think that Brooks's humour is too one-dimensional, too vulgar, to be as enduring as, say, that of Woody Allen (like Allen, Brooks began as a stand-up, and only later moved into producing and directing). Blazing Saddles, a spoof western, was the hit of 1974, and yet, when it comes down to it, it is really just a load of fart jokes in a stetson.

Blazing Saddles will be remembered by the general public far longer than anything Woody Allen has done. Allen will only be remembered by movie critics.

Allen will only be remembered by movie critics.

And by parents with underage daughters. The cretin should be living in Bahrain with Michael Jackson.

Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are in our family's DVD collection. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a Woody Allen film with the same distinction. Love Mel Brooks, even though Men in Tights was questionable. I especially love a husband who really loves his wife. To me, it is one of the greatest signs of a decent man.

Blazing Saddles contained a joke in its opening minutes that made me nearly die of asphyxiation.

Namely, "I get no kick from champagne...."

Comedy aside, Blazing Saddles is one of the best Westerns ever.

I've never heard of a single person who likes Westerns who doesn't adore 'Blazing Saddles'.

I'm 12,260 days into my goal of going my entire life never having seen a Woody Allen film.
