Mel Brooks on how he approached writing the screenplay for 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) & why this movie is 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th best comedy of all time: "Interviewer: 'Blazing Saddles' (1974) epitomized what became known as a "Mel Brooks Movie," an irreverent romp that broke all the rules. What led you to this type of wacky satire? Brooks: I just wanted to exorcise both my angels and demons. I said to all the writers, "Look, fellas, don't worry, this movie will never get released. Never. [Warner Bros.] will see it and they'll say, 'Let's bury it.' So let's go nuts. Let's write things that we never would dare write." And we did. There's a few guys doing that now — Tarantino's doing that. He's not being politically correct or in any way correct. Getting Goering and Hitler and Goebbels and all of those guys into a movie house in Paris and setting it on fire ['Inglorious Basterds' (2009)]. [Laughs] I mean, that's so crazy. So I think I just let it all go. I said, "I'm not gonna f—ing worry about what they're going to like or not like. It's what I like and what I don't like." (...) Interviewer: Pound for pound, minute for minute, there are probably more laughs in Saddles than in any other movie ever made. Brooks: I think the AFI number one all-time comedy is 'Some Like It Hot' (1959), which I like. I thought it was really terrific. But it's certainly not half as funny as Blazing Saddles. I mean, it can't compare. When you limit your lists to comedies, Blazing Saddles should be first, second, third, and fourth. And then maybe Young Frankenstein should be fifth. That's the way it should roll. Between me and you — you can print it — that's why I didn't do the AFI Man of the Year thing for a long time."
