re: Blazing Saddles was released 50 years ago today

I saw it at 13 during its first theatrical run. My cool sister-in-law took me, so I was able to laugh out loud at all of the inappropriate humor. The only thing that shocked her was the horse getting punched out (she was a horse person).

Probably the first highly quotable comedy. Other movies had catchphrases and fun quotes, but this movie was jam-packed with fantastic one-liners and punchlines. Even more so than Young Frankenstein (which also had a lot of great quotes).
