Blazing Saddles Movie
self ^ | 11/10/2015 | nevergore

Could this movie be made today? Mel Brooks doesn't think so..... Could the kids at our universities watch it without turning into quivering masses of protoplasam?

Are there any other movies you guys can recommend? Adding to my moving collection

Mel Brooks "History of the World, Part 1."

A bomb at the box office but very funny and breaks all sorts of PC taboos.

I had forgotten about “The Mouse That Roared” Great little movie. Peter Sellars in two roles wasn't he?

You can’t even get it on Netflix.

Available on DVD only from Netflix. Rated R of course.

I enjoyed Dave Allen and “The Paul Hogan Show.” His Leo Wanker character (think Super Dave Osborne) was hilarious.

Need to mention the Dean Martin roasts in here, especially the ones with Sammy Davis Jr.

Get watching those on youtube and the state of modern culture will really sink in. Fair warning, you’ve gotta get out before the mourning becomes permanent.

Sammy’s family was so poor, Sammy slept in a hollowed out watermelon!

Reperations was classic Chappell but nothing beats the “black blind white supremacist” skit. I laughed so hard at that one, but when my 70yr old dad started telling me about a hilarious skit he saw on tv with a blind black white supremacist, I knew it was ledgendary.
