Until Blazing Saddles and Monty Python and the Holy Grail are on the list, I can't take the list seriously.

Oddly enough, I bet that will only happen when Brooks and Cleese kick the bucket.

I'm a doofus, Kevy was indicating they are on the list.

Blazing Saddles is on the list, 2006

For the record, Animal House is also on the list, 2001.

We can always nominate! Send your suggestions for 2010 here

Here's a reason not to take it seriously, Valentino films are on the list, too. ;-)

I see.

Here's the list from 1989 to 2008.

I stand corrected. To be honest, I didn't even check for Blazing Saddles - I only searched for Monty Python.

While I do love all three films, I would have put Holy Grail on there before Blazing Saddles or Animal House.

The Wikipedia page has the same list with a little more info.

Why should a film made by a bunch of limeys be on the National Registry?

It would be like going on a quest with only one half of a coconut shell.
