Really? No love for "Blazing Saddles"?

I think that and "Young Frankenstein" are genius, and the other movies are so-so in comparison.

They were planning a sequel to History of the World Part I, but it never came to pass.

Yeah, that's fine. I didn't mean it as an indictment of your taste. More of a probing question.

Dracula: Dead And Loving It was my favorite movie before I got into Tim Burton films. I thought Robin Hood: Men In Tights was funny too. I really want to see Young Frankenstein sometime, especially since Gene Wilder is in it.

Except for the ending, I thought -Blazing Saddles- was very funny.

Especially the send up of Marlene Dietrich, by Madelene Kahn as Lilli von Shtupp. When she is about to get it on with Sherrif Bart she says - Ohhhh! Its twue, its twue - referring to the size of Sherrif Bart's ...er... atrributes.

I guess I have seen that too. He seems to go from very little expression to animated expressions which could still be characteristic. I'm not a big fan of him and don't watch him that much since he did the gory Jesus Christ movie which was so bad I couldn't watch it. I'm not a fan of his politics either but saw him recently in a movie, can't remember the name, where he was funny in an embarrassing sort of way. Whatever.

You're thinking Mel Gibson...totally different guy.

Young Frankenstein has been a favorite of mine for a long time.
