Blazing Saddles
Never give a saga an even break!
"My name is Jim, but most people call me... Jim." And while Blazing Saddles is deliriously funny, most people call it deliriously funnier, thanks to this special, extras-packed 30th-Anniversary Edition.
Filmmaker, star and paddle-ball wiz Mel Brooks goes way out West and way out of his mind with a spiffy spoof set in an 1874 Old West where 1974 Hollywood is just one soundstage away - and where nonstop fun blasts prejudices to the high comedy heavens. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and more join for horseplay and horselaughs, making Blazing Saddles the #6 choice among the American Film Institute's Top-100 Comedies. Give these out to the boys in lieu of pay. And enjoy.

If you like Mel Brook's exaggerated comedy, then this film is a must rent. Personally I am not a big fan of his films (except the Producers) thus I did not enjoy his comedy as sometimes it felt awkward and forced. All the actors give good performances with what they had to work with.mel brooks at it again - Silvaden
well, if you like mel brooks movie, this movie will not disapoint. the jokes are typical of his style but still funny in their own way. They often go a little bit longer than they should, but that is equally true of Brooks' style.
A story full of rediculous characters and rediculous situations with that cunning combination of making fun of movies and making fun of itself that seems almost too rediculous to work and yet somehow just working.Blazing Saddles - Kurmar
While this film was extremely racist by todays standards, once I got past that, it was extremely funny. I can certainly see why this is on the classics list. Mel Brooks is a comedic genuis, and this film is one of his best works. I like the old western theme.
