Thanks, Mel
My Dad died two years ago almost exactly. When I read an earlier post about someone's Dad laughing at "The Princess Bride", I immediately thought of "Blazing Saddles".

My Dad and I didn't exactly have the same taste in films (I couldn't picture him enjoying "This Is Spinal Tap" or "Etre Et Avoir"), but when I was a teenager, we ended up watching this funny cowboy film.

The memory of the tears running down his face to the campfire farting scene is one that has just made me smile as I remember him.

Thanks, Mel.

I love Blazing Saddles...
Just pure irony and all the better for it.

This film always makes me think of my Dad and my brothers (fortunately all still with us), as I vividly remember watching it with them for the first time.

Great film.
