Not just funny, but could also heal the nation. I think if people were forced to watch “Blazing Saddles” annually, and actually WATCH the movie, we’d have 1/100th the racial and ethnic tension we have today.

That's what I said about Richard Pryor, who wrote a lot of Blazing Saddles. He got blacks and whites to laugh at and with each other.

That movie is the greatest! I saw a few years ago some idiots were trying to take it off the market.

Another vote for Mel Brooks. When Gene Wilder was involved it was always magic.
I miss those days.
