Picking up on the phenomenon of Star Wars, Mel Brooks draws from a cleverly comical take on the starboard fantasy. Spaceballs goes above and beyond the lazy parody films of the 2000's and truly figures out where the deepest cuts and jokes could come from. Over 35 years since its release, although they don't all land, most of the jokes can still crack up a crowd and bury themselves deep in your brain to be endlessly quoted. With an incredibly endearing cast, it's hard to pin down a favorite character as they all wonderfully fill their roles. Delightfully charming, ridiculously quotable, and remarkably clever, Spaceballs delivers one of the most memorable parody films.
