This movie is a classic and if you haven't seen it, you should be very ashamed of yourself. Mel Brooks directs and acts in this spoof of Star Wars about a ruthless group of people called Spaceballs who have squandered all their air and try to steal the atmosphere from their peaceful neighbors Planet Druidia. The evil Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) attempts to kidnap Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) after she runs away from her wedding. However, her father (Dick Van Patten) reaches out to a space mercenary named Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) to rescue her. This sparks an intergalactic chase.
Honestly, I can't even tell you how many jokes are in this movie. It's got fantastic one-liners that still get repeated and cameos from tons of stars. It's definitely one of Mel Brooks' best movies.
One of the first films where I fell in luuuuurrrve with Bill Pullman (shutup!) the other one, of many, was While You Were Sleeping...(le-happy-sigh)
