Best comedy of all timeIf you have only seen Blazing Saddles on network TV where all the vulgarities have been dubbed over, you haven't really seen Blazing Saddles. The sanitized version leaves you wondering why people think the movie is funny. The uncensored version leave you laughing, and laughing, and laughing. Heck, I saw it when it first came out and I have watched my VHS copy over the years and I still enjoy it. I bought this DVD version to have a more permanent copy. I don't mind that it lacks a lot of extra content. All I wanted was a good copy of the original movie, and that's what I got. April 28, 2008
A Mel Brooks Classic
Don't buy this movie if you are easily offended; every race and ethnic group is made light hearted fun of. If you are a Mel Brooks fan this is a must have. April 28, 2008
Crazy - Makes Fun of Everyone Generally Great
This is my favorite movie of all time so likely my review will be slanted toward the positive. Still the movie is just completely crazy. Within the first few minutes you instantly get a feel for the sort of humor the movie is going to put you through for the next hour and a half.
The whole premise of the movie too pushes good sense out the window from the get-go. It's surprising to see such a movie do so well but this likely is because of Mel Brook's ability to tastily make fun of everyone without pushing the bar too far in any direction.
I'd say it's definitely the sort of movie you should add to your collection if you love this sort of humor. Definitely a gem in my collection. April 7, 2008

Go West, Young Man (Rude Noise)
What is odd about this movie is that it is still Politically Incorrect. And even after they make a movie about gay cowboys, this is still funny. And there is still no better way to show how small racial politics can make us than to shrink racism with laughter. And politicians still can't keep their pants on. This movie doesn't seem that old any more.
And that scene with the cowboys sitting around the fire, eating beans -- still cracks me up.
There's wit here, not just half-witted antics and toilet humor borrowed from other movies. March 18, 2008
