In a world where identity politics and politically correctness is killing societies ability to laugh at itself, Blazing Saddles stands alone as the one motion pictures that can release pent up pressure. Funny as all can be, this western parody jabs as all our sensitivities. Often quoted amongst polite company, the humour is off the charts. The main characters, a black sheriff and an alcoholic gunslinger, are tasked to save a racist small western town from greedy railway men protected by paid gunmen. This is a must see. Watch it before it bets banned by the humourless woke culture police.

In 1964, the gem of a SciFi epic reached an ever-growing fanbase. Touted as one of the most scientifically accurate movies of its genre, the movie was received with a soft box-office. For me, I was amazed at the story telling. Filmed in death valley, as the backdrop for Mars, we find the struggles of a man who crash-lands on Mars, and has to reach his fellow astronaut and their monkey mascot Mona. Soon oxygen and food become a problem, and we find ourself intrigued at the discovery of solutions on the red planet. Then as loneliness and near insanity sets in, sci-fi kicks up a notch when Mars is visited by a race of slave driving humanoid advanced aliens. Now our hero has to avoid detection and finally make a move to get off Mars. Beautifully filmed, great story pace and well acted. This is a gem that I have watched over and over in my sixty years on this planet. When I recommend this move to friends, it never disappoints. If you are looking for classic and timeless science fiction entertainment, this is the one to watch.
