I think slitzhmmm has flaked on ranking so that's all we're gonna get.

When I get to a computer I'll combine the scores to see the overall winner.

Glad people enjoyed this and this can easily run again with other categories. Just start a new thread or let me know if you want me to.

I don't mean something with the same title and similar characters, but a different film. I mean, if the exact screenplay/plot/cast etc were pitched today, no company would be willing to touch it. Presumably due to changes in the culture, but maybe there are other reasons.
i often wonder if Blazing Saddles could be made today.

the true message behind razor sharp satire and sarcasm seems to be lost on many people these days.

Definitely one of the movies which would've been on my list.

Blazing Saddles will always remind me of one of the greatest LSUfreek gifs ever. if you know Blazing Saddles and followed college football when Texas hired Charlie Strong you'll get this.

Bit of shameless self promotion here:

Would be grateful if some people would like to PM me some answers to these questions:

1). What's the best ice cream flavour?
2). What movie is so bad that it's good?
3). What's a really good games console?
4). What's an underrated colour?
5). What's something hipsters are really into?
6). Name a celebrity who's famous for no good reason
7). Name a tropical fruit
8). What's a good age to retire at?
9). Name an obscure country
10). What will be the winning score of this game?

You're trying to answer with the most popular answers rather than what's necessarily true for you.

More info can be found on Puzzles and Other Games if you need it. It's important that you just PM me the answers rather than post them in thread. Deadline is in about 4 hours and the reveal will be shortly afterwards

Thanks

guessing Gone With the Wind is another film that couldn't be made these days
