Have seen it multiple times and LOVED it! James Garner is my hero and he’s great in it.

My oldest daughter recently mentioned she’d never seen this movie, which surprised me, especially since our family loves movies like Airplane, Dumb & Dumber, and Hot Shots and I thought we’d seen them all together. Hopefully it’s streaming somewhere so she can see what she’s been missing all these years.

one of the funniest movies ever made ... a true classic because it’s stood the test of time ... even funnier today than when it was made ...

Blazing Saddles did more to abolish racism than anything in my life time except maybe Martin Luther Kings” I Have A Dream” speech.

The Woke crap we have going down these days is trying hard to destroy the legacy of Blazing Saddles.

Come to think of it, the wokesters are trying just as hard to destroy the legacy of Martin Luther King as well.

I saw it over and over in the theater. Once I even snuck a cassette recorder into the theater and taped it - I listened to that tape in the car, bad sound and all, until I wore it out. I may still have the tape in my box of old cassettes, but it doesn’t play anymore.

I thought blacks sexing white girls was the thing since the 80s!?? With the exception of the N word, that movie today would be a major hit!!
