I'll substitute "Young Frankenstein" or the original "Producers" (Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel) for "Blazing Saddles". But you have to admit. Mel Brooks really had a run of movies for about 20 years. For Standup-I have to go to "Live on the Sunset Strip". And finally, as much as love Caddyshack, I will replace it with the Peter Sellers classic "Dr. Stranglove (or How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb). Excellent choices.
