Blazing Saddles
Wild, wacky spoof by Brooks of every cliche in the western film genre. Little is Black Bart, a convict offered a reprieve if he will become a sheriff and clean up a nasty frontier town; the previous recipients of this honor have all swiftly ended up in shallow graves. A crazy, silly film with a cast full of lovable loonies including comedy greats Wilder, Kahn, and Korman. Watch for the Count Basie Orchestra. A group writing effort, based on an original story by Bergman. Was the most-viewed movie in its first year of release on HBO cable.

This has got to be one of the best comedy's ever. Most of the jokes still carry thru to today, and the ones that don't, you'll still "get". Great movie that has past the test of time.
Has aged pretty well; the writing is crisp and funny, and Kahn is great (Lily, Lily, Lily). Don't watch the edited version on AMC/TV though, the dialogue needs to be intact.
