One of the best and most controversial westerns ever made is making a comeback on streaming in 2026. Given the time period when most westerns were made, there are some controversial subjects and poorly-aged content in a lot of classics from the genre. Many of John Wayne's westerns have since become the subject of controversy, especially given the bigoted opinions the actor publicly shared in the 1970s. Even some of Clint Eastwood's Spaghetti Westerns have been scrutinized for their portrayal of female characters and their lack of agency. But, when it comes to the western genre and controversy, it doesn't get more intensely debated than Blazing Saddles. But, 51 years after it was first released, the film still hasn't been "canceled," and it's back on streaming once again.
