#3 I read a few weeks ago that a theater cancelled a showing of 'Blazing Saddles' because it was, um, inappropriate. Now, that's a tragedy.

#6 the 238-minute epic about the complex love life of a plantation owner’s daughter during the Civil War era

#7 They should have a movie "celebrating diversity" at a college, bring in all the snowflakes and then surprise them with Blazing Saddles.

The total spontaneous combustion would atomize the campus.
