I've always admired Mel Brooks' movies. The spoofs / parodies / references are very spot-on and, in some cases, very subtle and one requires sharp eyes or ears to spot that reference. They're also not sick or tasteless and one feels safe while watching his movies. Blazing Saddles is considered by many to be his greatest work and I couldn't agree more. Filled with amazingly funny scenes that requir... read more

He wore a shining star... and ever since the first time my brother and I saw this, we were hooked. It's got a little something to offend pretty much everyone, so it's an equal-opportunity offender.

It is a huge Mel Brooks classic. I thought it was pretty funny but not really hilarious so I wasn't blown away like I expected to be. I found that 'The Producers' was better but it is still a pretty good movie. It is a classic and it is definitely worth a look.

"After the primary law enforcer of a small frontiers town is killed, the locals must come to grips with the fact that's there's a new sheriff in town. His name is Black Bart, and the black part of his name is not because of his rep. It's up to him to win over the confidence of the frighten citizens of Rock Ridge & stop the new railroad from putting the town full of Johnsons off of the map. This is one of those movies that I have fond memories of watching and immensely enjoying when I was a l"

“When parody was a prolongation of a genre, as joyful as irreverent, with the hangover of the crepuscular westerns of the sixties. Kahn is superb in her Dietrich "Im tired" rendition. Korman is also great.” read more

Films and the critics who hate them (741 movies items)

"Blazing Saddles has no dominant personality, and it looks as if it includes every gag thought up in every story conference. Whether good, bad, or mild, nothing was thrown out. - Vincent Canby, New York Times"
