I personally didn't find Blazing Saddles to be funny. I wasn't offended by it. The juvenile humor just didn't appeal to me.

I just watched It Happened One Night, number 3 on the list.

It is an excellent movie, but it didn't strike me as a comedy movie. It didn't make me laugh.

A funnier one of the same era, and that is also a love story, is It Started with Eve, starring Charles Laughton and Deanna Durbin. That one is well worth watching.

One of my favorite moments from Blazing Saddles

quote on IMDB: Blazing Saddles wrote:

[Lamarr's posse rides up on Bart's diversion: a single tollbooth in the middle of the desert]
Taggart: [1:19:44] *Le Petomane Thruway*? Now what'll that a**hole think of next?
[turns to the posse]
Taggart: Has anybody got a dime?
[henchmen grumble, search their pockets]
Taggart: Somebody's gotta go back and get a shit-load of dimes!

Its an unpopular opinion but I've always found Waynes World 2 far funnier than the original.

I do enjoy Airplane!

I also really like Wet Hot American Summer.
