Spaceballs Is the Best Parody Movie

Arguably the last great Mel Brooks film to date, Spaceballs is in the upper echelon of parody films. It may also be the last great parody film in general, high above Disaster Movie or even Brooks' own Dracula: Dead and Loving It. Spaceballs sets its sights primarily on the Star Wars films, but takes shots at other great science-fiction films as well, including Alien and Planet of the Apes. It has all the tropes of the parody genre, with the usual Brooks flair atop. Those who know Spaceballs know why it is the epitome of parody films. Those who don't, well, let's look at why you should.
