Blazing Saddles

Director: Mel Brooks
Uproarious Western spoof was Brooks' first big hit, scoring many laughs by throwing political correctness out the window. Little plays an unlikely sheriff, Wilder an alcoholic gunslinger, Korman is the villainous "Hedley Lamarr" and Kahn scores a bulls-eye with her Dietrich-inspired chanteuse.

The Last Picture Show
1971 | Runtime: 125 min | Director's Cut
Cast: Jeff Bridges, Timothy Bottoms, Cybill Shepherd, Randy Quaid
Director: Peter Bogdanovich
Brilliant film of a dying small Texas town put Bogdanovich on the map (nothing he has done since has equaled it, but few filmmakers hit this kind of high) and stardom to many of its cast. Top-notch writing, direction, acting and beautiful black-and-white cinematography. A true classic.
