"De Camptown Races!"
That film remains funny, no matter how many years go by, and how many times you see it. Every performance is a comedy masterclass (Madeline Kahn is fucking awesome as Lili van Schtupp) and every line is a fucking lesson in scriptwriting. There are a billion quoteables. best of all is:
"Taggart! Take this down ... I want rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados ... mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits ... muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and ... Methodists!"
If you can't laugh at Blazing Saddles, you have no soul.
