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?

It was my father’s all time favorite movie. It is pretty dang funny. You could never make it today because most are offended by everything.
To: GreenHornet
It was a shock to watch DVDs of the Bob Newhart show.
He treats Suzanne Pleshette like shit! She’s smarter than
he is, but he frequently belittles her. I winced at the
way he ordered her around, too. Something has changed over
the decades.

Das Boot was the first time I went to a theater and noticed the wrap around sound system. Every time the hull creaked on the sub, the theater made it sound as if the walls were getting ready to cave in around the audience. It was an unnerving movie.

Nope. Not today.
About twenty years ago I showed it to a bunch of 19-20 year olds and they were mortified, especially at the "Don't move or the n****r gets it!" bit.
But they got even. They showed me Rocky Horror Picture Show, and it was my turn to be mortified.
The programming was showing up even then.

Lots of great movies listed in this thread.
Johnny Dangerously was a Box Office flop but I think was one of Michael Keaton’s best comedies.
“You Farging Iceholes. You’ve desecrated my farging rights”
“It’s an 88 Magnum... It shoots through schools”
So many great lines in that movie.

Back then I was in high school. I overheard some black students saying how they saw it & loved it.

Everybody got it back then because we werenât so busy being offended that we couldnât see anything else. Everybody got it back then because everybody was being offended. BLAZING SADDLES was really an attack on the whites. The black characters were far more sympathetic.
Reminded me of the early DOONESBURY cartoons, which were very funny because they made fun of everyone -- right- and left-wingers both.
I enjoyed that strip back then. Later it got sanctimonious.

True story. I was dating a girl in the 90’s, and WGN channel 9 (the “world's greatest newspaper”) was playing in the background while we were, uh, preoccupied with other things, and Blazing saddles came on the TV. They silenced and muted and censored the fart scene of the guys sitting around the campfire, yet somehow left all the N-word references in for other scenes. I still get a kick out of that all these years later.

"How about songs: âWe gotta move these refrigerators....that little f*ggot is a MILLIONAIRE..!!!â"
I have Sirius XM, and that song HAS been censored for all those tender ears out there.
Where that verse is *supposed* to be, they just replay the background music.
It sounds stupid.
I wonder who ordered the change?

I feel like that movie pokes fun of stereotypes and bigots.
A lot of people probably wouldn’t get that though.
