Admission to both films is $7 adults/$5 kids and seniors. Go to Stanford Theatre.

And for all fans of "Blazing Saddles", it's worth noting that the Madeline Kahn character ("Lili von Stuppe") was directly based on the Marlene Dietrich character ("Frenchy" though she speaks in an accent that is most definitely not French) in "Destry Rides Again." See Destry, then watch Blazing Saddles again!
