If you're referring to Blazing Saddles Phil then I concur, watched it again a few months ago and it still has me in stiches. RIP the "Waco Kid"

All his films were great but for me Willy Wonka wins by a whisker. Blazing Saddles was more an énsemble film with all actors making it great.

Wonka was a one man tour dé force.

'Young Frankenstein', the funniest film ever, with so many cameo appearances by well-respected actors. Gene Wilder will be sadly missed.
