Since Blazing Saddles and Airplane! are already taken… I have to say Airplane! 😃 Two not seen so far: Naked Gun (Police Squad first movie) Ruthless People. ---

Oh bloody hell…just did a google search and Ruthless People is also a Abrahams, Zuxker and Zucker film (like The Naked Gun and Airplane!). I didn’t know that. I guess they just hit my funny bone. ---

I have to say though…that I knew I was getting older when I would quote Blazing Saddles and the young ens out there didn’t know where it came from. Blazing Saddles was the most quoteable movie of my generation. I still have to resist (and sometimes unsuccessfully) whenever I play Battleground Europe and someone asks me if I have a plan… …well…I thought we’d go aridin inta town…a shootin and ahollerin…killin everything in sight. ---
