Blazing Saddles (12A) 30th Anniversary Screening (The Met)

The Met Cinema Club invites you to come and celebrate all things Cinema, with the National Cinema Day taking place today across all of the UK – we chose this vintage award-winning cinema that turns 30 this year, the Mel Brooks comedy classic ‘Blazing Saddles’

“My name is Jim, but most people call me… Jim”. And while Blazing Saddles is deliriously funny, most people call it deliriously funnier. Filmmaker, star and paddle-ball wiz Mel Brooks goes way out West and way out of his mind with a spiffy spoof set in an 1874 Old West where 1974 Hollywood is just one soundstage away – and where nonstop fun blasts prejudices to the high comedy heavens. Cleavon Little, Gene Wilder, Slim Pickens, Harvey Korman, Madeline Kahn and more join for horseplay and horselaughs, making Blazing Saddles the #6 choice among the American Film Institute’s Top-100 comedies.
