Spaceballs

Standing on the top of a hill of comedy/parody movies is Mel Brooks, and the best of what he has done over the years culminated with this film. No science fiction movie was safe from being made fun of here, even the over merchandising of related products is examined. The main movie that is made fun of is Star Wars but it doesn't stop there, there are references to everything from Star Trek to Transformers to The Wizard of Oz and everything in between. The planet Spaceball is running out of air and plan to steal the air from a neighboring planet. With characters like the terrible Dark Helmet, Pizza the Hutt, Barf the half-man/half-dog, and the powerful Yogurt the laughs are boundless. As you watch the film you can actually pick out scenes and situations that are directly from the original movies, and they are dealt with in such a way that you can't have anything but fun. The cast of actors gathered together for this little romp is nothing short of genius, with John Candy and Bill Pullman leading the way.
This was one of the last parody films that Brooks did, other than Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and ranks right up there as one of his best. To see all of the characters from different movies portrayed in a humorous light is so much fun, that after all these years you still laugh until your sides hurt. The movie was originally made in 1987, but with almost twenty years under its belt it hasn't aged, and will probably go down as one of the best comedies of all time.
