I'm looking for a fun popcorn blockbuster movie...definitely in the vein of what we've been doing with Star Wars -- but I'd love to hear some more. 

 If you've got a favorite that I haven't covered yet comment it for me?!

My favorite popcorn moment in a movie theater in 1974. I was visiting friends out of state and we decided to go see a movie. My friend Harvey suggested a new film called Blazing Saddles. I said I didn’t like westerns all that much but he insisted that he heard it was a comedy. (As it happens, I knew who Mel Brooks was as a comedian but not as a film maker. I had not seen The Producers or The Twelve Chairs at the time.) I ate my popcorn as the opening song occurred. Then there was a joke about temperature and I started laughing. Then they started singing and I laughed louder. I couldn’t believe the kinds of comments and jokes being made. I was soon laughing uncontrollably. I actually slid off my seat onto the floor twice due to my fierce laughter. I didn’t stop laughing until they get to the sound stage.
