When that expression first came into vogue I had some difficulty with it, because I live in the same state as Three Mile Island.

So much for Chopped Liver. (Errrrr, I mean Cab Calloway.)

Come on, if you want to talk racism in Hollywood, fine. There's lots of fuel for that fire. But relating that back to alleged Cellar waspiness is almost a non sequitur. Would Princess Bride have been a better choice? What about Airplane? For that matter what would a Blazing Saddles victory say? (I personally think Blues Brothers is far from a foregone conclusion. There are a lot of Brooks fans here.)

I really think Holy Grail woulda been a contender ...

Besides Cleavon Little, how many black people did you see in Blazing Saddles? Seems to me that more WASPs would vote for BS than BB if your theory held water.

That's a toughie. I think true WASPs hate the Jews worse, because more of them can pass.

Well damn, and here I've been hating the wrong group all these years. Do I have to switch my bigotry and start hating Jews now?....or can I just hate both? :rolleyes:

The fact that the BB was a movie about a black music form--starring two white guys--that's why it's waspy. D'UH.

And Blazing Saddles is a movie about a black sheriff in the wild west. Looks like you get to pick your favorite racial improbability movie.

What makes the cellar waspy is the fact that these conversations happen

I'm W, and I may or may not be AS, but I ain't P!

The white stars provided a mass audience for a movie that celebrated black culture. Cab, a black man, was the father the boys never had at the *cough* Cath-o-lic orpanage. In real life Aykroyd is a huge booster of the Blues. Not a WASP film, an American film. A purple :thumbsup: for a BB victory. Even though BS is a pretty good flick.

It's so much simpler to just hate everyone.....fairer too. ;)

Ladies and Gentlemen by a close vote of 10 - 7 your Field of 64 winner

BLAZING SADDLES

Good games all around!

Life of Brian would have been my first choice, but I can satisfied Blazing Saddles.

Mind you, History of the World is the best thing Mel has done....

Yes, but Blazing Saddles is at least a deserving winner. It could have been much worse. Now if you'll excuse me I need to go eat my Cheerios. ;)
