“Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges.” While this may be true, you do NEED to watch Blazing Saddles before you die. Mel Books’ merciless incisive skewering of, well, pretty much everything, has to be seen to be believed. Subscribe – http://goo.gl/9AGRm

Blazing Saddles is Mel Brooks at his best. While we love The Producers, Spaceballs, History of the World: Part I, and of course, Young Frankenstein, it’s in Blazing Saddles, that Brooks goes truly no-holds barred with his irreverent comedy. While the movie is most definitely R-Rated, the humor appeals to the 8-year-old-boy in all of us. That is, when it’s not making us seriously question our deeply held world views.
