Rustlers' Rhapsody
Tumblin' tumbleweeds! The Wild West goes wacko when the Greatest Fast-Drawin', Fancy-Dressin', Silver-Spurred, Geetar Playin', Singing Cowboy movie matinee idol Rex O'Herlihan (Tom Berenger) hits the saddle in Rustlers' Rhapsody, a cockeyed, affectionate send-up of the '40s B-movie Western.
Classic Western stereotypes and clichés get turned on their ear when our fearless hero, fully dressed in white and atop his dancing horse Wildflower, rides into the tackiest town west of the Pecos to do good deeds and defy desperados. Written and directed by Hugh Wilson, who was responsible for the hilarious Police Academy, Rustlers' Rhapsody stars Andy Griffith and Marilu Henner.

Funny B-movie - ShawnConnery
A B-movie that makes fun of B-movies, this is a surprisingly effective movie that takes all the cliches and stereotypes you've ever come across in the Western and completely trashes it. A lot of fun, clever when it needs to be, even suspenseful at times, it's a kind of comedy that'll make kids laugh and adults as well. My only grievance is that, while actors like Tom Berenger and Patrick Wayne were right on, a lot of the others were just not great actors and made the movie seem a lot cheaper than it was. And the truly inspired parts of the script were stringed together by cheesy filler. Other than that, definitely funny.
