    I remember watching this as a teenager in the theatre, it was the best thing ever. Tried watching it again last year, and had to stop for how cringe it was. Better left to memories for me.

      I will rewatch this forever! This is a GOAT comedy. What made you cringe? It is campy.

      It’s a Mel Brooks movie, it’s par for the course. Next thing you’ll tell me the Carry On movies are cringe too.

          Don’t get me wrong, I love Mel Brooks movies. But he has a unique sense of humour, and I can understand how some people would find it cringey.

            Oh, absolutely no worries. Let’s just say that for me, what was fun when I was a teen (I’m in my 40s now) just isn’t the same now. Out of all of his movies the only one I have issues with is just Men in Tights.

            I honestly don’t even know how to explain what the issue is, other than saying I find it cringey. Sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        Nah, I watched blazing saddles for the first time a couple years ago and loved it and I rewatched it again this year and it was still funny.
