Blazing Saddles 71 points KBM 2 Stifled 2 Johnbobb 6 Karo 8 Inviso 13 CoolCly 15 Pokewars 25 Very poor plot synopsis: Land: see snatch Why it was included: A musical western comedy with a black protagonist? Yes please! Also, DID YOU KNOW that motherfucking Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) was the original choice to play Bart? And that Gene Wilder was originally considered for the role of Hedley Lamar, but he turned it down? And that John Wayne was originally considered for the role of the Waco Kid, but he turned it down because it wasnt a family friendly movie that fit his image? And the original actor playing Waco Kid (ironically) collapsed on set due to alcohol withdrawl and Gene Wilder was chosen to replace him? Well now you know! What Stifled thinks: Scene for scene, this might be the funniest movie Ive ever seen. Its that perfect blend of biting social satire and shock value that keeps me enthralled every single time. The acting is great, down to even the side characters. The music is catchy and funny. The comic timing is perfect. The blurred line between it being really happening and being a movie within a movie is wonderful. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Blazing Saddles. It has been one of my favorite movies since middle school and nothing has changed since then. --- Bear Bro The Empire of Silence ... Copied to Clipboard! |
