Blazing Saddles: Ribald, tasteless and hilarious ... this classic spoof of the Western genre by director Mel Brooks pokes fun at everyone and everything. A corrupt governor grants a reprieve to an African American convict if the condemned man agrees to serve as sheriff of a small Western town, believing that new sheriff will only live long enough to serve the needs of the governor and his nefarious railroad-baron backer. Academy Award nominations for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Madeline Kahn); Best Music, Original Song; and Best Film Editing. Caddyshack: It's the snobs against the slobs! From the brilliant comic minds of director/writer Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Analyze This), writer Brian Doyle-Murray (Groundhog Day, Wayne's World) and superstar funnymen Chevy Chase (Vacation movies, Fletch), Rodney Dangerfield (Back to School) and Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Stripes) comes the hilarious cult hit Caddyshack. While caddying at a snooty country club, ambitious young Danny (Michael O'Keefe) goes for a college scholarship. But first he has to impress elitist Judge Smails (Ted Knight - Mary Tyler Moore, Too Close for Comfort) and win the big golf tournament. Meanwhile, a crude construction tycoon goes to extremes to be accepted into the exclusive club, and a psychotic groundskeeper stalks a rampaging gopher. It all adds up to one of the greatest sports movies of all time and a highly quotable, unforgettably classic comedy.National Lampoon's European Vacation: Can the Griswolds survive Europe? Probably better than Europe can survive the Griswolds. The first time the all-American Griswold family ventured forth, in National Lampoon's Vacation, it was just a domestic outing. This time they take on the Continent--all in a catastrophe-filled fortnight--thanks to a TV quiz-show grand prize. Only the best buy direct from GRUV
