Blazing Saddles (1974)
Being a big western fan I kinda needed to see this at one point. When it hits the mark, it is incredibly funny, and when it doesn’t the humor falls flat. Though that is to be expected with the absolute crazy approach to making a movie where they just threw a ton of gags together at hoped it would stick. Beneath the anarchistic chaos, there is an underlying satire of western tropes and racism. I like how the movie just turn it way beyond absurdity, to really underline a dark historical truth about that time - in a totally silly setting.
