Spaceballs is a 1987 American science fiction parody film co-written and directed by Mel Brooks and starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, Mel Brooks and Rick Moranis. It also features Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, and the voice of Joan Rivers. The film was released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer on June 24, 1987, and was met with a mixed reception. It later became a cult classic[3] on video and one of Brooks' most popular films. Its plot and characters parody the original Star Wars trilogy, as well as other sci-fi franchises including Star Trek, Alien, and the Planet of the Apes films.

Also, surprised there wasn't a Spaceballs thread already.

I fucking love this movie. It is probably the most memorable movie from the days of my childhood. It's such a fucking silly movie, E.G. the comb joke, but it's just great.

When will then be now?

just had to say it :P

>>4 Soon.

Fuck! Even in the future nothing works!

Never liked this movie as a kid. Fuck, I always hated it. It just never seemed to have any point, it wasn't clever, it wasn't funny, and I sure as hell wasn't entertained by it.

...but then again, my childhood tastes and biases should be of little consideration when determining whether or not the current me thinks this is a good movie. Perhaps it deserves a closer look.

"So, what does that make us?"

"Absolutely nothing."

Haven't watched this since I was nine, but wonderful movie from what I remember.
