I don’t actually much like that movie, but never fail to crack up at Sheriff Bart holding himself hostage. ---

“Rape, murder, arson, and rape.” “You said ‘rape’ twice.” “I like rape.” “Mongo only pawn in game of life.” I’m not a big Mel Brooks fan, but there are a few laughs in Blazing Saddles. ---

I first saw it when it came out, in an actual theater, and I can assure you, the campfire scene got one of the biggest, longest laughs you can imagine. And almost anything with Madeline Kahn. “It’s twue! It’s twue!” My own personal favorite is Bart convincing the townspeople (you know, morons) to build a duplicate town. “You’d do it for Randolph Scott.” Crowd (in hushed reverence) “Randolph Scott!” ---
