Movie battle: Animal House vs. Blazing Saddles

[rigmedic1]

Animal House, simply because there is so much I can identify with. Reminds me of being back in college, lol. But Blazing Saddles is great because it is exactly the opposite!

We don't need no stinking badges!
I'm going with Blazing Saddles. Granted it's a little crass, but the way Mel Brooks delivers it makes it hilarious.

mel brooks was one of the minds behind get smart...

Blazing Saddles demonstrates a mature sense of sophistication that Animal House can't touch. Mell Brooks is clearly the Master of the Yiddish Western genre.

Animal House no, Blazing Saddles no, Animal House no, Blazing Saddles. Damn, it is a tie.

There is no question that they could never make a movie like Blazing Saddles these days. It is the most politically incorrect movie of all time, which is why it's so awesome

Adam I was about to post just about the same comment, but I had phrased it in a more political fasion and decided againt it, but is the truth. I had blazing saddle in beta max, then VHS and now on CD. The wife knows if it is on AMC it is where the TV will be but the editied version misses the mark

BS was an incredibly funny and well written movie that I have seen and laughed hysterically at many times, well worth seeing. However AH was a defining movie for my generation. Undoubtedly as iconic as "Rocky Horror" Therego my vote must be for AH

Undoubtedly as iconic as "Rocky Horror"

I spent many a night in college watching this classic! Nights I should have been studying... I don't know if watching is the correct word... paticipating is probably better! "Ok, who's got the rice? Check. Toilet paper? Check. Water pistols? Check." Watching Rocky Horror on TV is not the same as in the theater that's for sure!!

Damn Adam, you ask the hard questions!

I will have to go with Blazing Saddles on this. Even though AH is so awesome, I think BS has more mileage for me.
