One of the best films of all time.

That said, this movie could 100% be made today because Mel Brooks is a god. He just released History of the World pt. II and while it's not nearly as crisp as Blazing Saddles he does hit some of these same notes every once in a while throughout the piece.

Love Mel Brooks but History of the World pt. II sucked so much.

It for sure wasn't great, but Ike Barinholtz as "Ulysses S. Grant" and J.B. Smoove as "Luke" were incredibly fun to watch.

I have to admit I didn't get further than 30-40 min into the movie. Maybe I need to give it another try.

My wife liked it a lot more than I did but when those two were on screen; I couldn't look away. Especially J B. Everything that man does is gold.

Didn’t make it 15 minutes into “Part II”. Seems like a poorly written ripoff of “Drunk History”.

The first thing I thought when I read the title was Blazing Saddles. No joke man, no joke.

Some movies are just funny long after their time. Thinking of old movies, I think I'll watch The Naked Gun.

We’re all leaving out the easiest and most obvious.  Come on, all together now:

Badges???  We don’t need no stinking badges!

I watched this film with my parents when I was 11. I didn't think it was funny because I didn't get all the jokes.

Parts I did laugh at was all the cowboys sitting around the campfire farting and Alex Karras knocking the Horse out.

Watched it years later and last night and had tears in my eyes laughing so much
