Blazing Saddles was just great. The Wako kid
"Little bastard shot me in the ass"

But it's Young "Froderick Frankensteen" Frankenstein for me

[Colonel Cærdiffi]

Classic.

He will be missed.

Stir Crazy deserves a mention.

Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor were just comedy genius.

I remember watching it as a youngster and discovering real comedy for the first time.

RIP Gene. This original 1968 review of The Producers in the NY Times puts his genius in some perspective:

Truly a horrible passing.

Rest in Peace

[the other bob wilson]

Loved ninety per cent of Blazing Saddles, but I've always felt it was let down by it's ending, so it's Young Frankenstein for me.
