Spaceballs

"Out of order?  F*ck!  Even in the future nothing works!"  Another gem from Mel Brooks, sci-fi films (especially Star Wars) are relentlessly parodied in what has got to be one of the most quotable movies ever made.  Filled with all sorts of one-liners and innuendos (it's amazing just how much dirty stuff they got away with, even for a PG-rated film), Spaceballs never fails to tickle my funny bone.  Although pretty stupid (okay, incredibly stupid), it's still really good, and features excellent acting (John Candy's portrayal of the elusive Mawg [half-man, half-dog; in other words, its own best friend] is legendary).  Definitely worth a look.

Rating: 86/100
