Blazing Saddles (1974)

I remember seeing Blazing Saddles only once. That was when I decided that I'd probably already seen it, but couldn't remember much about it, so I owed it to see it again. I remember when I did watch it that time, I was thoroughly disappointed. 

The baked bean scene - the only one I could remember - just wasn't all that funny. Other so-called funny moments didn't strike me as funny either. The toll booth and the Jewish Indian were only funny if I told myself they were. "Look, that's funny - laugh now." 

A few choice lines don't save this from mediocrity.
