This topic from Long and Short Reviews was surprisingly easy, as I had a bad day a few weeks back and immediately turned to one of my favourite films to lift my mood.
I'm not normally a comedy film lover. I don't find a lot of them funny as I'm not into gross-out, public humiliation, romcoms or watching straitlaced people being slowly driven out of their mind, which covers a lot of them. However, my absolute favourite comedy film is Blazing Saddles.
Blazing Saddles is non-stop humour, brilliantly scripted and has a great performance by Gene Wilder, who was one of my all-time favourite actors. I could watch it any day of the week, but it's perfect when you're in a bad mood and need to let off some steam.
So what film do you watch when you're having a bad day?
Blazing Saddles was one of my dad's favourite movies, though I've never seen it myself.
ReplyDeleteI've always loved it.
DeleteI've watched Blazing Saddles a few times but it's not nearly as fun to me as Men in Tights. It may be a matter of MiT being the first one I saw! Brooks made my list as well. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen that one - I'll have to try it.
DeleteI enjoyed it at the time, but it's become dated to me. I love lots of Brooks's films.
ReplyDeleteI do love Brooks, I agree.
DeleteOh, excellent choice! It's a household favorite here, too.
ReplyDeleteIt never fails to cheer me up.
DeleteBlazing Saddles was my father in laws favorite movie. If we weren't watching that we were watching O Brother, Where Art Thou? Both great movies.
ReplyDeleteOne of these days I'll have to find a copy!
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely worth it.
DeleteI think I seen part of this movie but never watch it all the way through.
ReplyDeleteIt's one I've seen dozens of times.
DeleteI’ve never seen this film, but now I want to. :)
