One of my all-time favorites. Wrote a long piece on it today for the Austin Examiner:

I love these two movies, any other recommendation?

WHO would 'GO-ON' to Still EVEN more FAME .. as: "Sheriff Black Bart" IN:"BLAZING SADDLES"!! haven't seen T.L.B. .. IN MANY AN AGE..."Good Call!!" SOME ONE WANT TO 'Sport' this Old boy.. a copy?? for:"viewing purposes", Of Course!!Ok, I'll try to click a thousand times on it then !
I love "Two-Lane Blacktop", one of my favorites too.
Warren Oates is wonderful as usual, the non-professional actors are great and Monte Hellman is one of my favorites director. By the way, I'd highly recommend to watch "The Shooting" and "Ride the whirlwind" where he treats the western movies quite the same way he treats here the race movies.
And if you love low budget sci-fi movies (and I know do), I guess you'd probably already watched the cool "Beast from the Haunted Cave", his first movie, produced by Roger Corman.
@Kopper : Yeah, I love "Vanishing Point" too ! As you said, two GREAT race movies, if not the GREATESTS !
(By the way, did you know I found my stupid pseudo after a projection of "Vanishing Point"... Remember Super Soul the Dj ? You got it !)
lol for real? I just read it! and then I tweeted it!
